🚧 How to build a strong startup ecosystem? Our next Nordic Talks Japan focuses on how to build the infrastructure for an inclusive startup ecosystem that produces novel and sustainable solutions to address the pressing challenges our world is facing, while fostering flexible ways of working, well-being and a failure-safe culture. The Nordic region is home to tens of unicorn startup companies and a breeding ground for innovative startups solving some of the world’s toughest challenges. The infrastructure is nurtured through student-driven initiatives, policymaking and city planning, failure-embracing culture, and governmental support schemes. Japan has also set forward ambitious goals to tenfold its number of unicorn companies and make Tokyo the most startup-friendly city in the world. New policies to encourage open innovation are being adapted. We invite frontrunners from both ecosystems to share best practices and how we all can contribute to build a thriving ecosystem for a better, sustainable world.

Good morning from Hong Kong. It's been 2 days since I returned from #Patagonia, and I've been focused on ensuring that I haven't missed any crucial follow-ups with my co-founder Rafael Vega Valtierra and the tech and project teams. There's a lot happening post-trip, which is positive. Reflecting on the past 4 years since we started our traction milestone back in January 2020, when COVID-19 struck, our team has been remote working for over 4 years. The #discipline we've maintained to keep things going despite being physically apart is commendable. While we've faced numerous challenges, we've never considered giving up on what we started. The recent opportunity to travel with my co-founder in Latam for 14 days and meet all our team members from #Bolivia, #Uruguay, #Chile, and #Argentina (Rafael also made it to #Panama) has been invaluable. Face-to-face meetings, even though most are in Spanish, have enabled us to better understand how we can enhance our clients' experience with the tech solutions we offer. Carefully listening to feedback has helped us navigate towards more fruitful results. I treasure the time spent sitting down and enjoying meals with our beloved teammates in Latam and witnessing the glacier with one of the most important partners in my entrepreneurial journey. Rafael Vega Valtierra and I come from completely different cultural backgrounds, and it's amazing to see how we've worked together over the years to build things that no one has built before. Despite both having strong characters, we've chosen to humbly collaborate with our partners to adjust our business modeling. I've learned a great deal from Rafael Vega Valtierra and all our Latam teammates. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow together with everyone and doing my utmost to lead the company towards our mission and vision. Digitizing tourism, especially for SMEs in rural areas, presents challenges, but if we can accomplish it, we may be able to make a significant difference. To those striving to make a difference, keep going, never give up, be humble, and don't be afraid of challenges, because they give you the courage to rise again and again until you succeed. To another productive day, let's cheers with our entrepreneurship spirit.

Our recent RedBridge Lisbon event in San Francisco, at SHACK15, with the Unicorn Factory Lisboa, and several conversations with amazing people there reinforced my belief in cross-border collaboration and the opportunities that we can open up for our local talent. Great to share these ideas in this week’s The Next Big Idea on a topic that is dear to me.   - Portugal has seen an unprecedented influx of qualified internationals who bring not only financial resources to invest but also valuable expertise and a willingness to mentor and get involved in local projects. - On the other hand, we have highly qualified Portuguese youth who feel the need to seek work opportunities abroad, not only for better salaries but also for more ambitious growth prospects. - There are significant ways to bridge these realities, which can open up new opportunities for local talent and provide more means to integrate foreign investors into the community. - One of the reasons for co-founding RedBridge Lisbon was to address this gap and promote cross-border collaboration. - In some circles, there’s an anti-immigration narrative that can obscure the positive potential of foreign investment. However, we can see that places like California have become centres of entrepreneurship and innovation precisely because they have opened their doors to people of all nationalities. - As a co-founder of AGPC, I have witnessed strong relationships and productive partnerships between foreigners and locals in Portugal. Foreign investment brings not only capital and expertise but also creates synergy between cultures and diverse talent. By embracing this diversity and seeking to promote collaboration, we can foster a more vibrant and interconnected community.

'ᴀʀʀɪᴠᴇᴅᴇʀᴄɪ' ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴋɪɴᴏ ɪᴛᴀʟʏ With mixed feelings, we're announcing a significant transition: Kino Italy as we know it is coming to an end. 👩💻🇮🇹 Since starting, our mission has been to enrich local communities and promote #innovation and #cultural exchanges through the power of #remotework. We wanted to make Italy a prime destination for #remoteworkers and #digitalnomads, starting from #villages and beautiful #rural areas. The journey has been incredible, with notable achievements but also daunting challenges. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 🌎 64 participants from 17 countries discovered Italy's lesser-known locales. 📆 On average, stays lasted 24 days, embracing a slower pace of life. 👵🏻 We engaged over 100 locals in events, workshops, and gatherings. 💰 Generated over €150k for local economies, beyond participation costs. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 🛠️ Necessary infrastructure and service improvements exceeded our startup's capacity. 🤝 Creating sustainable ecosystems needed more time and local involvement than we could manage. 💸 Limited resources and operational burdens were significant for our small team. 💭 Realising KINO Italy had evolved into a travel service diverged from our original vision, skills and personal ambitions. 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘸𝘦'𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 2024 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴. The value of our mission, echoed by our community and collaborators, remains clear to us, and we're exploring new ways to support our mission and the remote work ecosystem in Italy. We are beyond grateful to our partners, community, and supporters. This isn't goodbye, but an 'arrivederci', hoping this pivot marks the beginning of something new. Grazie a tutti 🫶 Serena and Andrea Co-founders at Kino Italy #startup #impactentrepreneurship #pivot #remotework #digitalnomadism #italy

I cóż że ze Szwecji? A popular Polish tongue twister that’s tricky to pronounce but carries a fun meaning: "So what if it's from Sweden?". Well, for the tech world, being from Sweden means a lot. Sweden consistently ranks as one of the leading global innovators, according to e.g. the Global Innovation Index, not only in Europe but across the world. The country is known for producing cutting-edge technology, and its startup ecosystem is home to industry giants and trailblazers. As a member of the Swedish-Polish Chamber of Commerce, we couldn’t overlook the influence of this remarkable country and its significant impact on global technology. In our latest "IT's Time to Talk" episode hosted by Michał 'Mike' Lisewski, Piotr Stepinski, a Polish-Swedish expert, shares insights into Sweden’s dynamic startup scene, its collaboration with Polish companies, and key trends shaping innovation. https://lnkd.in/dK_5ZavE #Innovation #SwedishTech #GlobalLeaders #PolandSweden #Digitalization #TechCollaboration

#Paris & #Berlin: A Franco-German #StartupTandem Berlin and Paris are the most important startup metropolises in the EU and competing to attract and settle important players from Asia and America. The two metropolises have very different profiles: #Paris enjoys a strong government support from President Emmanuel Macron and the Ministry of Economis with La French Tech, has a well-connected intercontinental airport as well as an internationally visible hub with STATION F and an internationally attended major event with Viva Technology. #Whereas Berlin benefits from its attraction for international #talents as an Enlglish speaking ecosystem and the open and experimental structures that are exciting for startups. Startups and investors from #Asia and #America often ask themselves which of the two cities is best for them to settle in? In fact, the cities can complement each other synergistically with their different strengths and present themselves as a well-connected dual location. Together, they would form the gateway to the two strongest hubs and national economies - and at the same time to culturally very different national markets in the EU. Why choose between Berlin and Paris when you can be located in Berlin via CDG Airport and be present in both cities in the double hub? You can have a desk in STATION F and an office in Berlin - and thus utilise both ecosystems with investors and international talent! There are already numerous people and some organisations in both startup ecosystems that work strongly in a Franco-German context like French Tech Berlin or AHK Frankreich / Deutsch-Französische Industrie- und Handelskammer. Let´s think about: - Establishment of a network of stakeholders - Curated high-level, internationally visible startup #conferences, alternating between Paris and Berlin - Joint presence at international tech and startup conferences and trade fairs - Invitation of speakers from the other metropolis to relevant startup events - Definition of joint central topic areas in which resources need to be concentrated - Joint formulation of startup interests vis-à-vis national and EU institutions - Communication of and political support for the "Berlin & Paris Startup Tandem" I am happy to discuss with you this idea at VivaTech in Paris!
