THE MOST RECENT UPDATES
November has been an intense month, full of stimulating events! Let’s kick off with our CEO Marco Filippi‘s interview (below) in 📍Barcelona at the Tomorrow Mobility event. There, we discussed with EIT Urban Mobility and other founders how EIT UM has been supporting start-ups and what the tech sector needs to grow in Europe (Marco suggested – long story short – capital, network and competencies). What do you think?
On the same topic, Marco also advocated for the tech entrepreneurs cause during the Spinelli forum in Berlin by proposing the creation of a new type of EU tech entity to facilitate the growth of the EU technology ecosystem; read the full proposal on Marco’s post. On the day after, the activities of the forum have been acknowldged by the heads of state Olaf Scholz and Giorgia Meloni during the bilateral German-Italian meeting in Berlin.
The journey with Impact Deal has come to an end with the Demo Day in 📍Turin. The 6 months experience was in partnership with Wind 3, Banca Sella and the City of Turin, which allowed us the access to a series of data that will make the volvero user experience even better!
The Web Summit (📍Lisbon) is always a good opportunity to meet with peers, and people from all over the world. Thank you Made of Lisboa for the support!
