Last week, I had the pleasure to represent the EDERA Lab team at the Hello Tomorrow #deeptech Summit in Paris. 🇫🇷 It was an electrifying 48 hours brimming with groundbreaking ideas and insightful conversations with industry players - from startup founders to incubators, accelerators, investors and corporate powerhouses. 🌱A little over one year ago, we founded EDERA Lab on a mission to support the visibility of innovators disrupting their industries from within to drive positive change. 🎯 Our mission is to support the climate tech, agri-food tech, and deep tech start-ups, translating groundbreaking technologies into commercially viable products, driving real-world impact. 📣 Steven Jacobs from Lakestar perfectly captured the essence of deep tech: "Deep tech is a period in time: it is the moment when scientific discovery becomes a product." 💡 EDERA Lab's mission is simple: we help early-stage founders be visible where it matters. Our targeted communication expertise helps them build thought leadership with investors and corporate players, supporting their fundraising, partnerships and business development. 🚀 A huge thanks to the founders, incubators, and accelerators who took time out of their busy event schedules to share their visions and challenges. I look forward to seeing you again soon at the next deep tech event!

🌟 Insights from my talk at the START Global Summit in St Gallen, Switzerland🌟 I just had the incredible opportunity to take the stage at the START Global Summit in St. Gallen where I presented AIATELLA's mission to enable the shift from reactive to preventive healthcare through AI-driven imaging analysis. My Key Takeaways: The Power of Early Users: After my presentation, I was humbled by the number of people who approached me. Many were eager to sign up as early users because they, too, want to understand their cardiovascular health and risk. Their personal experiences with cardiovascular disease within their families further proved the urgency of our mission. It’s not just about technology; it’s about impacting lives. Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurship: The START summit encourages entrepreneurship, and soon-to-be founders were curious about how I found such a significant purpose. My answer - Love the problem, not the solution. Before building anything, dive deep into understanding the problem. Continuously examine it because problems are dynamic, and your users’ needs evolve. Purpose-driven companies resonate with users. Validate your solution with them first, not with investors. Navigating Rejections and Feedback: External investment is often necessary, but brace yourself for hearing “no.” It’s part of the journey. Instead of being discouraged, get the feedback. Learn to understand the unit economics and growth potential of your company, and how others view this. Remember: Build a painkiller, not just a vitamin. A 'problem-first' solution addresses real user needs. Let’s keep pushing boundaries, solving real-world problems, and making a difference! 🌎💙 Special thanks to amazing team at START Helsinki, Benjamin Beckh, Vincent Alexander Wendt and to the panelists Ilana Ostrov, Martin Schilling, Stepan Kivshyk, and Gianmarco Hodel #AIATELLA #HealthcareInnovation #PurposeDrivenEntrepreneurship #STARTGlobalSummit
