We are honoured to have been selected for Creative Destruction Lab's new Next Generation Computing stream, and to have taken part in the opening session in Berlin last week run by CDL-Paris and CDL-Berlin #DeepTech #computing #innovation #semiconductors
🚀 This marks the beginning of a new era for next-generation computing, especially in Europe. As Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of #France, stated at the launch of the new stream of the Creative Destruction Lab, “This union between France and Germany, through this program, presents an opportunity to develop European sovereignty in new technologies.” Last week, teams from CDL-Berlin and CDL-Paris gathered in #Germany for our first in-person session with ventures and mentors. This new stream, supported by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation in collaboration with TUM Campus Heilbronn and Campus Founders, strengthens the partnership between France and Germany. It also underscores the critical need for greater #European synergy in investments and streamlined regulations to foster a more innovative and competitive market in emerging technologies, as highlighted as well by President Emmanuel Macron during his speech last week at ESMT Berlin, during the Berlin Global Dialogue. 💥 Minister Barrot emphasized, “We need pan-European investment funds that will increase the size of VC funds.” This approach will enhance Europe’s strategic independence, particularly in disruptive technologies like quantum computing. Carlo Sirtori, one of our program mentors, added, “There’s no longer a possibility to have a computer for everything; we need specific CPUs tailored to the demands of applications and the type of computation.” 👏 Congratulations to all the startups and the incredible solutions they presented. The ventures also had the unique opportunity to share lunch with the minister, presenting the contexts they operate in and the challenges and opportunities they face. As the minister noted, “We also need to resort to public money for industrial policy, especially for hardware.” Stay tuned to HEC Paris and HEC Paris - Innovation & Entrepreneurship Institute pages, and that of our partners at DEEP - Institute for Deep Tech Innovation! We’ll be publishing an article soon with all the highlights from this first session! 🌍💡 Thank you to the Ambassade de France en Allemagne for their invaluable support and encouragement of this Franco-German cooperation. #BuildSomethingMassive #NextGenComputing #Quantum #MakeitHappen #MakeitBIG #LearnToDare Inge Kerkloh-Devif Aymeric Penven Dr. Thorsten Lambertus Francis de Véricourt Thiago Penteado Ajay Agrawal Sonia Sennik Ignacio Gimenez Losano Flora CABOT Johannes Schnabel Sebastian D Becker Maxime Borrel, MBA Livia Kalossaka Nicole Pereira Patrick Kappel Rintaro Arai Carlos Serrano Peter Mathias Fischer Jiseon Bak Clémentine Decoopman Erfane Arwani Florian Corgnou
