Why creating a start-up makes sense? TAIEX Moldova - June 2013Pim de Bokx
During this conference in Chisinau (Capital of Moldova) I shared my vision and experience on why start-ups make sense for any economy and how success rates can be upgraded by effective incubation programs. In this workshop we also brainstormed about how the performance of incubation can be measured real-time!
Our audience in Chisinau came from government, academia, incubation, finance and business. I was honored to be invited by TAIEX (European Technical Assistance bureau) to come over and share my experience. It was my first time there and hope it won't be my last time.
Encouraging knowledge transfer - TAIEX Moldova - June 2013Pim de Bokx
Why 'knowledge transfer' is first about 'talent development' before anything else - this is from a societal point of view. Secondly it is about connectivity and compatibility. In my interactive presentation I illustrate my opinion with examples from The Netherlands like Innovation Auctions, Innovation Vouchers and SBIR. Offcourse also the Cluster-Incubation formula (BViT) to foster knowledge transfer through start-up/spin-offs is highlighted.

Workshop "How to pitch to a corporate VC" @ Start Summit 2013 in St. GallenPenny Schiffer
Penny Schiffer and Jonathan Grahm, Swisscom Ventures; Summary: Corporate Venture Capital is the practice where a large firm takes an equity stake in a small but innovative or specialist firm, to which it may also provide management and marketing expertise and other assets like customer access or IT infrastructure. The objective for the corporate is to gain a specific competitive advantage, benefits for a startup may include speed of execution and access to resources.
In this workshop we explained the concept of corporate venture capital, gave an overview over such activities in Switzerland and provided examples of how startups have used corporate venture capital to achieve their goals. We then worked on concrete examples – own startup ideas or case studies – to explore how to pitch to a corporate venture capitalist. We discussed pros and cons of such concepts and potential roadblocks. www.startsummit.ch

Τι να κάνω στη ζωή μου - μια παρουσίαση για εφήβουςGeorge Tziralis
Μου ανατέθηκε πρότινος να δώσω σύντομη ομιλία σε κοινό εφήβων αναφορικά με τον επαγγελματικό τους προσανατολισμό. Κατέληξα να αποφύγω κάποια αναφορά σε συγκεκριμένο κλάδο, για παράδειγμα το τεχνολογικό επιχειρείν και αντί αυτού να εστιάσω σε τροφή για ευρύτερη σκέψη. Ίσως τελικά ανέφερα εκείνα που πρόσφατα συνειδητοποιώ ότι θα ήθελα να είχα ακούσει στην ηλικία αυτή. Παραθέτω εδώ τις διαφάνειες, σύντομο κείμενο θα βρείτε στο gtziralis.com.
