Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking on one of the panels organized by Italian Tech Alliance as part of the VivaTech event. Some scattered reflections following these days of meetings with startups and investors: - Ubiquitous topics in the various panels and speeches: AI and ESG; - Substantially absent/not covered topics: impact and fallout on the innovation and capital ecosystem related to existing and threatened international tensions and conflicts; - Perception of the Italian Venture Capital ecosystem by foreign players: all (or almost all) are watching it with interest and plan to invest in it (or intend to do so) in the coming months. At last, the ecosystem is perceived to be mature enough, everyone expects European (if not global) leaders to emerge from Italy in the near future, and they consider entry valuations very competitive in an essentially still uncompetitive venture capital supply environment; - Perception of the Italian Venture Capital ecosystem by foreign startups: on average, they consider it a difficult market to enter mainly because of the bureaucratic complexities and costs associated with doing business (how can you blame them!), nonetheless to be looked at with reference to possible technological incumbents coming from it. In summary, many good ideas and valuable connections. It would be nice and desirable if a similar event were soon to be organised in Italy, with the collaboration of the various entities that today individually promote events related to innovation and technology. Italy does not lack the ability to organise and manage large trade fairs, perhaps the will?

The Nordic region, known for its innovative mindset and strong emphasis on sustainability, has much to learn from the Singapore Deep-Tech Alliance (SDTA). The SDTA, which supports start-ups in sectors like medical and clean technology, has developed a successful model that the Nordic countries could emulate to further enhance their own deep-tech ecosystems. One key lesson from the SDTA is the importance of strategic collaborations. The SDTA has established four models of collaboration that enable companies to either create new start-ups, bring existing start-ups to market, solve specific problems, or access protected technologies through its network. This multifaceted approach not only accelerates the commercialization of advanced technologies but also fosters a dynamic environment where large corporations and start-ups can mutually benefit. By offering access to world-class technologies, funding, mentorship, and a robust network, the SDTA ensures that start-ups are well-equipped to tackle significant societal challenges. The Nordic region could benefit from adopting similar venture-building programs that emphasize sustainability and advanced technology. These programs could help bridge the gap between innovative ideas and market-ready products, ensuring that start-ups receive the necessary support to scale effectively. Another valuable takeaway is the SDTA's emphasis on cross-border cooperation. Singapore, with its limited domestic market, leverages its proximity to larger markets like Malaysia and Indonesia. This approach highlights the importance of regional collaboration in driving deep-tech innovation. Nordic countries, while individually smaller markets, can similarly benefit from greater cooperation and integration with each other and with broader European markets to amplify their impact. Moreover, the SDTA's focus on activating the private sector and large corporations is crucial. Deep tech often requires substantial capital and cannot be developed as rapidly as software solutions. Engaging large corporations and private investors can provide the necessary financial support and industry expertise to bring these technologies to market. The Nordic region, with its strong corporate sector and investment culture, is well-positioned to adopt this strategy. Follow for more

Thrilled to have been part of an insightful panel discussion at INMerge Innovation Summit in Baku, Azerbaijan alongside Jordan Bray Orkhan Abbasov expertly moderated by Stoyan Yankov We delved into the universal elements that sustain innovation ecosystems at regional and economic levels. Key Takeaways: 1. Diverse Actors: Innovation thrives on collaboration between public-private partnerships, corporates, universities, research institutes, startups, incubators, and venture capitalists. 2. Value Creation: Collaborations must create value for all ecosystem participants. 3. Shared Resources: Access to technology, funding, support, and platforms is crucial. 4. Knowledge Exchange: Free flow of information and resources fuels innovation. 5. Culture and Vision: A supportive mindset is essential. We explored organic ecosystems like Silicon Valley and intentionally created ones like Estonia, the “Unicorn Capital” with the highest number of unicorns per capita. Developing Local Talent in Emerging Markets: Challenges include skills mismatch, limited access to quality education, leadership pipeline gaps, and cultural barriers. Strategies to overcome these involve public-private collaborations, targeted talent development, leadership programs, and addressing regional disparities. Success stories from Brazil, India, and Singapore demonstrate the power of investing in STEM education, aligning curricula with industry needs, and implementing national skill development initiatives. innovation is not a solo act. It’s about the ecosystem and the collaborations within it. There’s more to venture than just capital – it’s about nurturing the right environment for innovation to flourish.#InnovationEcosystem #EmergingMarkets #TalentDevelopment #GlobalInnovation

𝐊𝐋𝟐𝟎 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 In an ambitious endeavor to transform Malaysia into Southeast Asia's premier startup hub, the nation is ardently welcoming innovative enterprises and venture capital firms with an array of enticing incentives. Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has underscored the government's vision of elevating Kuala Lumpur to the ranks of Silicon Valley, fostering an environment conducive to the flourishing of technology companies and nurturing a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. Central to this initiative is the Unicorn Golden Pass, a program offering a multitude of advantages, including streamlined work visa procedures for key personnel, affordable rental rates, and favorable tax arrangements. By presenting such alluring prospects, Malaysia aims to entice the most promising startups to its shores, thereby cultivating a dynamic and prosperous innovation landscape. Recognizing the pivotal role of venture capital investment in catalyzing this envisioned tech boom, the VC Golden Pass has been conceived to facilitate the establishment of VC firms in Malaysia. Key attributes of this initiative encompass expedited licensing processes, tax concessions, and subsidized office spaces, with a focus on attracting seasoned investors boasting significant capital and a proven track record of backing triumphant startups. As Yang Amat Berhormat Dato' Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim affirms the indispensable function of startups in unlocking Malaysia's technological potential, the KL20 Summit serves as a testament to the nation's resolute commitment to this transformative pursuit. By fostering a collaborative environment and harnessing the ingenuity of enterprising minds, Malaysia stands poised to usher in a new era of innovation and prosperity, cementing its status as a trailblazer in the global startup arena.#KL20
