Today, I want to discuss my impressions regarding the Next Web Conference (#TNW2024), which was hosted in Amsterdam, Netherlands on June 20th and 2st, 2024. The #conference itself was a definite success. Above all, it delivered on the core expectation: I encountered many #startups and #outsourcing companies, including businesses from Ukraine, during the Next Web event. The diversity of companies participating in the conference resulted in a great selection of speakers. It was genuinely interesting to listen to them and communicate with top decision-makers from diverging #IT companies and organizations. In the end, I’ve managed to arrange multiple meetings with potential business partners thanks to the conference, and hope that some of them will result in long-term cooperation. What I liked the most about the conference, however, was its unique approach to organization. Instead of following the route of a typical conference with a focus on purely practical issues, it also proved to be rather entertaining. The organizers of the conference worked hard on decorations and various non-business events to deliver a festival-like feeling. As a result, the TNW Conference also helped me recuperate energy through its atmosphere of positivity. #event #techconference #innovations #technologies #development

At the end, the main part of the conference took place, which was attended by ministers and other dignitaries. During the conference the current issues of IT industry development were discussed and the latest developments and technologies were presented. The main goal of the conference is the development of the German IT sector and solving the issue of lack of qualified personnel, which our company is always ready to help.

DIANA is the alliance's key innovation adoption program, offering assistance, funding and access to a powerful network of partners, users, venture capitalists and other resources. The program is structured around challenges.

They have already received 1300 applications after three challenge calls and 44 innovative companies were accepted. Each receiving US$100,000 as initial funding. This also gives them access to a mentorship network and venture capitalists that will allow them to speed development and delivery of their capabilities.

🌟 Key Insights from our Week 3 GovTech Connect Roundtable with Viktor Nestulia, Justyna Orlowska, and Wojciech Janek 🌟 Discussing current perspectives on the Central Eastern Europe region and procurement, as well as challenges and opportunities for startups in public sector engagement, here are some of our top takeaways: 💡 "The EU's support is opening doors for startups in the public sector. Keep product costs under €30,000 to simplify tender access, and leverage municipal hackathons to showcase your solutions." 🤝 "In Ukraine, it's easier for startups to break into the public sector. Partnering with more established companies helps build trust and create new opportunities." 🔍 "Establishing credibility is key. Startups should engage in government hackathons and events to demonstrate their value and gain visibility." 🌐"Networking is crucial - presenting your product at conferences and building coalitions can make all the difference." From startup founders to government innovators, Europe is seeing a boom in GovTech potential. Want to be part of the conversation? Join us at the #GovTechConnectAssembly in Brussels on 28 November to explore the future of public services in Europe! 🗓️ Check out the agenda and register your interest to attend: https://lnkd.in/dmRxe2yD #Innovation #BootCamp #GovernmentTechnology #Leadership #SmartCities #StartupOpportunity #InnovationLeadership #GovTechConnect delivered by Intellera Consulting, PUBLIC, The Lisbon Council & Politecnico di Milano with the support of the European Commission
