Everything you always wanted to know about SPRIND (and never dared to ask): This was the intriguing title and motto of yesterday’s presentation from Barbara Diehl (SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen agency) held in the Start-up Labs Bahrenfeld. We had the pleasure of hosting the session with almost 20 participants who weren't shy at all to ask their questions about the various funding instruments of SPRIN-D, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation. The agency was set up in 2019 as a new funding body by the German government to decrease the risk of early-stage technology projects which are characterized by promising socioeconomic breakthrough potential. With the SPRIND Freedom Act, which was implemented in 2023, the agency is now able to support researchers and entities with bespoke solutions - ranging from financing validation studies, R&D phases, and product development until market readiness, plus giving additional individual support and access to their network. The audience learned that there are two ways of application for breakthrough innovation technologies: one bottom-up approach with open project applications, and one top-down approach called SPRIN-D challenges (or the little sister SPRIN-D Funke). Barbara Diehl emphasized that the agency is welcoming all kinds of projects regardless of the research field or form of entity, but that they are looking explicitly for ground-breaking technologies invented by teams who are fully dedicated and driven to create a positive impact from the science base. Thank you to Barbara Diehl for an inspiring and encouraging talk during which you could literally feel her passion for innovation. Thank you to all participants for many many questions and a lively discussion. And thank you to the Start-up Labs Bahrenfeld team for hosting our event.

I'm so proud of our team as a whole and our CTO Martijn Handels in particular for winning the title of Most Innovative Scale-up 2024 by the CIO community. We received the biggest compliment imaginable from a jury of industry experts who named Helin as the next "ASML". Although we are always looking forward, considering how we can improve our product, how to attract new clients, how to scale our team, etc., awards like these provide a good moment to pause for a millisecond and recognize where we are today. But, after that millisecond, you realize this is only the beginning. So, keep on rocking, team Helin! #nextasml #bestCIO #keeponinnovating

I am fully behind Team #Techies and their groundbreaking, innovative idea!💡Integrating To-Do creation and reminders directly into platforms we already use daily, like WhatsApp, has the potential to impact 2.5 billion people worldwide. 📱 As someone who often uses WhatsApp for jotting down my daily tasks and to-do lists in personal chats, the idea of seamlessly setting reminders and sharing tasks with colleagues is incredibly beneficial. It’s exactly what I need to streamline my workflow and enhance productivity. Being a leader of a project team, having the ability to assign tasks, receive updates, and manage our projects directly from my phone on WhatsApp would be a game-changer. I hope WhatsApp considers adding such a feature for their users. #Innovation at its finest!🌟 #Blinkx #Techies #WhatsApp #winner #wildcardentry #TaskManagement #ToDoList #Tech blinkX WhatsApp #support

I was invited to celebrate the iCapital award this week! I talked about brave customers paving the way for new innovations and also brave investors supporting hardware companies scaling up and investing in equipment, facility (cleanroom) and automation. You need to be brave and also patient to understand that scaling up hardware is different from scaling up software. You can see my part of the discussion about 30 minutes in the movie. https://lnkd.in/ddGkKGJR What is your experience? Going from start up, scale up all the way to be a profitable company, I see a gap in investors and support, do you agree? Epishine, #sustainability, #innovation

#Bifrostsummit2024 was last week, and what a week! Three years ago, we kicked off the first Bifrost Summit, Nordic Innovation House - Silicon Valley, and Business Sweden as main organizers. Then, a one-day conference with two side events. Every year, it has grown bigger and better and a true Nordic activity. This third year was a week packed with multiple side events daily. Key take aways: 1) Partnership is the new leadership - The Nordic brand pulls more than each single country 2) The innovation and talent from the Nordic region is impressive, with over 60 startups/scale-ups joining us over the years 3) Stakeholder management is key This year, I had the pleasure of once again moderating the leading conference together with the remarkable Rebecca Scheel, the welcoming party, the livable cities event at Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, as well as the startup-, regional, and investor partners-, and investor meetup at Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchange - San Francisco. If you missed the conference you can catch it here! https://lnkd.in/gXJxAmKA Big than you to all partners, companies, speakers, attendees and organizers. Without you no Bifrost Summit! And a very special shout out to Paula Salomaa who has been the Project lead two years in a row!
