Imagine reclaiming heat from data centers and placing it to good use...heating buildings or swimming pools. This innovative approach has been made real by Paul Benoit and his team at Qarnot. My discussion with Paul at #OCPLisbon24 uncovered why startup innovation is so critical to propelling the entire industry forward. I can't wait to watch Qarnot's progress, and I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did. https://lnkd.in/etr7ekBU

𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴! 🚀 Yesterday we took part in an event organised by Gründermotor. After an exciting and informative AI workshop of the Fraunhofer IAO 🤖, we went to the ARENA2036, where two startups had the opportunity to pitch in front of a group of industry experts and then had a discussion with Selina Lehmann from MAHLE New Ventures and Ronald Hotz from our team about the requirements and challenges of startup collaborations with corporates. 💡 Here are some of the key learnings: ➡️ Not every collaboration works right from the start. It requires commitment and resilience on both sides. ➡️ Working together to optimise the status quo enables win-win situations for both partners through the development of valuable products and cost savings on the user side. ➡️ Hands-on work on a PoC enables mutual growth. Speed is key to success! Thanks to Tim Gegg for moderating and the Gründermotor team for organizing. We look forward to the next event! 🚀   #STIHL #STIHLVentures #Innovation #Startups #VenturePartnering #VentureClienting
