Startup Huddle Guinea - A Morning of Innovation and Collaboration 🚀 This morning, I had the privilege of attending the first edition of the Startup Huddle program in Guinea, organized as part of the Global Entrepreneurship Week Guinea. Under the leadership of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), this program is designed to foster connectivity—the cornerstone of entrepreneurial success. GEN research highlights that well-connected ecosystems boost startup creation, and founders with strong networks double their revenue growth rate. ✨ The session brought together: Startup founders presenting their challenges in a concise 6-minute pitch. Mentors, experts, and solution providers engage in a 20-minute constructive discussion to share insights, practical advice, and tailored solutions. 💡 Key highlights included: - In-depth conversations on sustainable development and growth sectors. - Opportunities for experts to provide hands-on support and strengthen connections within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. - A spirit of collaboration to ensure the success and sustainability of startups. I’m inspired by the wealth of ideas, expertise, and actionable strategies shared during this session. Initiatives like this empower startups and create a ripple effect of growth and innovation. A huge thank you to the organizer Bangaly Diane and the participants for creating a space to nurture entrepreneurial potential. I am looking forward to more such enriching exchanges! 🙌 #Entrepreneurship #StartupHuddle #Networking #GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek #Innovation

🚀 Exciting news from the world of innovation! 🌍 Our co-founder Nicolas Debray is spearheading an initiative that aims to bridge the gap between large corporations and scale-ups. Inspired by the changing landscape of investment and a dialogue with industry leaders like Guillaume Boutin from Proximus, Nicolas is pioneering a speed dating project to foster collaboration and innovation. The first event, set to take place on March 28th at TheMerode in Brussels, will bring together five major companies and around twenty scale-ups. The focus? Sustainability. From energy and mobility to human resources, these challenges will be tackled head-on by innovative startups ready to make a difference. With sustainability at the forefront, Nicolas is passionate about creating opportunities and forging connections between two seemingly distant worlds. This event is just the beginning, with plans to assess and evolve based on feedback and learnings from this inaugural edition.

So good to grab lunch with this cat Keo Sar whilst he’s in town for London Tech Week today. Almost a year since we last lunched and I’ve definitely got more grey in my beard since then. Such a privilege to talk through start-up strategy and GTM with a seasoned expert and to get an insight into the startup ecosystem outside of Silicon Valley. #LondonTechWeek #StartupStrategy #GTM #Networking #TechIndustry #StartupEcosystem #BusinessGrowth #SiliconValley #TechInnovation #Entrepreneurship
