It's about that "giving-back culture" our innovation community needs more of. I oftentimes reflect on the importance of looking beyond funding, financing, skills, infrastructure, clients or network, when it comes to building stronger innovation communities. I meet myself at the same point - giving back - Daring to say our innovation communities need more positive impact through dosages of human empathy and engagement. Receiving without profit being the currency of exchange. Giving back is not only fueling positive change and creativity, it brings such a great deal of fulfillment, and the opportunity to maintain one's legacy latent. Are you a c-suite executive or know of someone in pursuit of contributing to the expansion of giving-back culture in European innovation? This may be the right place for you to be. More info will be soon announced. In the meantime, you may reach out to us if you want to hear more of it. What do you think?
