But the journey doesn't stop there. Next week, he’s heading across the ocean to #TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco—where the focus shifts to startups, disruption, and breaking into new markets.   These two events, though different in scale and scope, embody the core of what drives Plan A. At WEBIT & FUTURE FORUM, it’s about seeing the long-term vision of where tech is headed and how it will transform industries.

From #unicorns to #ethical hacking, from #impactinvesting to #quantumcomputing - passion could be felt in the air, driving energy and ambition at START Global #StartSummit2024! 🌏⚡🚀 These are the words that I would describe this year's Summit in the heart of Switzerland, St. Gallen. VCs, founders, fellows, hackers, and students—gathered from across the globe—to celebrate innovation and delve into the forces shaping our future. It was inspiring to witness a plethora of remarkable ideas spanning fintech, climatetech, healthtech, and beyond. These days have been full with panel discussions, great people and inspiring ideas. Reflecting on this enriching experience, I'd share just a tiny bit for now: 🔹Major corporations highlight that consumer demand isn't the main catalyst for sustainable transformation at the moment. "Ideally, it should be on par. " (Yet as I think, sustainability still shouldn't equate to higher costs; it should be the default choice). 🔹Embrace competition as a founder. It's essential for progress, fostering market development and growth. 🔹If you are fintech founder, prioritize quality and compliance over rapid growth and speed. 🔹Avoid scaling a company prematurely; focus on building a solid product, even with substantial VC funding. Efficiency is paramount. ❓A question arose: should VCs ride the wave of regulations or go beyond? The answer is clear. 🔹VCs favor impact-driven startups and frown upon early-stage use of advisory services, often blocking their emails (this I found quite peculiar). 🔹Ponder deeply: Is immediate funding necessary, or can organic growth suffice? 🔹#AI dominated panel discussions, but what's the next big thing beyond the buzz? Think carbon technologies, nuclear fusion, and quantum computing. A whole separate stage was dedicated to sustainability, which is absolutely great. A very special thank you to the Swiss Financial Innovation Desk, Ms. Eva Selamlar-Leuthold, Justin Friedrich and the colleagues for the invitation to the Design Thinking Financial Innovation Workshop. It's been a great pleasure! As I was heading to the train station on my way to Frankfurt, a poster caught my eye: "Dream BIG. Go BIG." Indeed, this embodies the ethos of Start Summit 2024. Let's do it 🚀 #START24 #StartSummit #Sustainability #ESG #VCs #Funding

Had an amazing time listening in at the #MastercardForFintech roundtable at the Institut du monde arabe! 🌍✨ The discussion on fundraising from both the investor's and startup's perspectives was incredibly insightful—conversations often heard informally but brought to a professional stage this time. 🚀 Kudos to Michelle Hughes for expertly moderating the panel and to the brilliant speakers: Ignacio “Nacho” Merelo at Endeavor, Thomas Bigagli at Plug and Play Tech Center , and Raphaël Nahum at Pennylane, for sharing such valuable insights. Here are some standout takeaways on Europe’s transformative growth: 💡 European Tech Boom: 7x workforce expansion, 10x increase in investment, and over 300 unicorns. 💡 Opportunities: Unlocking $375B in growth-stage funding, scaling through regulation, and bridging the VC gap. 💡 Future Vision: $5T ecosystem growth, 15M new tech jobs, and Europe’s first trillion-dollar company by 2034. If you're a VC, founder, or tech enthusiast, I highly recommend catching up on these insights. The future of tech in Europe is bright! Source: Atomico Slush "State of the European Tech Report"
