Reflecting on an Incredible Experience at SXSW with the Virginia Tech Class Group. I am thrilled to share that I recently returned home from an unforgettable experience attending the South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference in Austin, TX, as part of the Virginia Tech Class Group. During my time at SXSW, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a dynamic environment that brought together technology, entrepreneurship, film, music, and culture. The conference offered a wealth of thought-provoking talks, panels, and workshops led by industry experts, providing valuable insights and inspiration. One of the highlights of my experience was the chance to connect with like-minded individuals, including successful policymakers, economists, founders, and venture builders. The networking opportunities were exceptional, allowing me to expand my professional network and learn from some of the brightest minds in the field. Attending SXSW also aligned perfectly with the curriculum of our Startup Economics course at Virginia Tech. It provided real-world insights into the startup ecosystem, showcasing innovative solutions and game-changing ideas shaping the future. Witnessing the power of entrepreneurship and innovation firsthand reinforced my passion for driving positive change through startups. I am immensely grateful to Virginia Tech and our professor Thomas Debass for organizing this incredible opportunity and their dedication to providing us with a well-rounded education. The experience at SXSW has broadened my horizons, challenged my thinking, and fueled my entrepreneurial spirit. Now that I am back home, I am excited to share my learnings and experiences with my classmates, colleagues, and the Virginia Tech community. Together, we can leverage the knowledge, fresh perspectives, and renewed sense of purpose gained from SXSW to continue making a difference in the world of startups and innovation. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who made this experience possible, and I am eager to apply what I have learned to future endeavors. Let's continue embracing the power of collaboration and innovation as we work towards a brighter future. #VirginiaTech #SXSW2024 #StartupEconomics #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Networking #LearningExperience

Yes!! If you look closely you will see two themes at this years TNW Conference which are close to my heart <3 Spotted them? In open #innovation we are sometimes blamed to be a bit vague, having a hard time to quantify results, or using terms that might seem ambiguous. For me the TNW Conference is the place where you don't need to explain the value of an ecosystem; but get to experience it! That's precisely why I believe every corporate innovator should be there (and bring their peers). At the conference you get the chance to: 🌐 Step outside corporate boundaries to see firsthand what is happening in the tech landscape and be informed about the developments that should be on your radar. 🤝 Meet startup founders and entrepreneurs face-to-face to be inspired by their entrepreneurial mindset, gain insights in new solutions and explore collaborative opportunities 👥 Showcase your colleagues the essence of fostering a culture of openness, creativity and entrepreneurship. 🎤 Take the stage to share your knowledge and contributions to innovation bridging the gap between your corporate world and the broader tech community. Or put a spotlight on your startups or startup challenge. 🌟 Connect with your peers driving innovation across various industries, to exchange insights (the good, the bad and the ugly) or potentially explore collaborations. Plans are already in the making to facilitate this :) Super excited to see everyone there again and to continue building our community and ecosystem of corporate innovators, governments, investors, startups and entrepreneurs. 🚀
