Today, we’re honored to feature Kambis Kohansal Vajargah, an entrepreneur, startup mentor, and Head of Startup Services at the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, who shares his insights on diversity in entrepreneurship. Kambis believes that diversity is not just a value but a strategic advantage. He emphasizes how diversity of thought is essential for solving complex problems, reaching broader markets, and driving innovation. Reflecting on his own entrepreneurial journey, Kambis underscores the importance of building systems and opportunities that enable everyone—regardless of their starting point—to bring their ideas to life. Looking ahead, he envisions an entrepreneurial landscape shaped by inclusive ecosystems, technological advancements, and global collaboration. How do you think diversity fuels innovation? #globalentrepreneurshipweek #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurshipquotes #mpoweru

Having worked in both startups and in marketing operations, I’ve experienced this firsthand. A diverse team isn't just a checkbox; it’s a strategic advantage that drives real results. When people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences come together, magic happens. Diversity fuels not only innovation but also resilience and growth. It’s the secret ingredient that helps companies navigate challenges and seize opportunities with open minds.

Partnering with EY to boost impactful start-ups🤝 A week ago, EY launched its Amplifier program in Denmark, and we are pleased to see that three of our start-ups, BioHalo, Droplet IV, and Visibuilt, will join the program. In the program, they will receive free and dedicated help that spans everything from go-to-market strategy, business concepts, financing plans, and budgeting to product design and marketing ideas. “We are delighted with our partnership with EY, which gives BII startups a unique opportunity to make use of EY skills that can help them solve concrete challenges that need to be overcome in order to bring their solutions and products on the market for the benefit of society.

Connections & Cocktails: Our EU-Startups Summit Story!🇲🇹 Just got back from two incredible days at the Startups summit on Malta, and we are buzzing with the energy and connections we made!🔥 As our first international event, it definitely exceeded expectations. Marek Liška became a master of multi-tasking, juggling our booth, the main stage, and networking with other businesses. Lukáš Král was constantly discussing technical details about our platform. Meanwhile, I held down the fort at our booth, passionately explaining our platform to everyone who stopped by. And Daniel Hendrych captured everything on camera!🕺🏻 The summit itself was a goldmine for European startups. It provided a fantastic platform to showcase ideas, network with investors, industry leaders, and fellow entrepreneurs. From insightful chats to an exciting pitch competition showcasing Europe's brightest startups, there was something for everyone. Speaking of connections, the evening networking event was a masterclass in turning "business cards" into "business buddies." Conversations flowed as smoothly as the drinks.🍸 Now, onto the most important question: If you connect with us on LinkedIn and are interested in exploring collaboration opportunities, reach out!
