Today morning I was a part of an internal pitch session for NATO - Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA), at Tehnopol. Nine cybersecurity and defence startups from Estonia, UK, Poland, Czech Republic, Iceland, Finland, and the Netherlands. Impressive. While most (not all) of the startups are in pre-commercial mode, all of them have managed to execute on pilots with those challenging categories of customers starting from governments, defence sector, energy, drone manufacturers and more. Being from Ukraine, I felt sensitive about almost all the products founders were working on. One common improvement I would suggest for any vertical-specific startup founder is to simplify the language of the pitch as much as possible and use more visual info. There's an assumption that showing all the best angles of a product would bring better results. However, in 99% of the cases it is better to simplify explanation, avoiding vertical-specific slang. And you don't need to show everything in 3 minutes — leave some space for curiosity. These companies received 100K grant as a part of the program but I hope they will secure more financial support to be ready for any real-life conditions. Some has already secured several MEUR in funding.   Startup Wise Guys is one of the partners in the program supporting these startups with business guidance. I haven’t seen the startups until today. Impressive. Grateful to the partners for doing this important job.

Two years of #EDIHSaxony! 🎉🇪🇺 Did you know that the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) are a key part of the European Commission's strategy to drive digital transformation across industries and regions? As part of this European-wide network, EDIH Saxony has become a central point for digital innovations in our region. Over the past two years, we’ve worked closely with #SMEs, #startups, and public administration to help them integrate new technologies. One example is a project by RWInnoTec GmbH and Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe funded by EDIH Saxony. Together they explored how radio wave technology can be used to repair damage in roads in Leipzig. ➡️ More about projects like these can be found on the Smart Infrastructure Hub blog.
