"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲.” - 𝐾𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝐹𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑧𝑧𝑖 💡 I like this quote because it encompasses a humble perspective about connecting with other people. Networking is about active listening and being humble enough to learn from others whilst sharing experiences and knowleadge that will definitely help others to grow. 🤜🤛 As entrepreneurs, we shall understand and embrace this practice as part of our toolkit. That's the way to thrive as other Sillicon Valley tech-like poles do. They build strong communities that helps them thrive. 🚀 I am grateful to have assisted in the last few weeks to many and diverse events that let me learn from, connect with and help others. 🖐 • Close up of the 6th SFBuild Edition SF500 • Amazing Evening with colleagues from Latinx Tech Group Esteban Gorupicz Guillermo Repizo, PhD North Valley Adviters • "VC Trends" at #InnovationTechWeek in Buenos Aires hearing great insights from ALAYA CAPITAL Pampa Start Kamay Ventures BBVA Startup Grind • "Conecta Inversor" Endeavor Argentina #startup #networking #innovation

📢 To create strong incubation programmes in Innovations Hub Foundation, it is essential to have access to international ecosystems. The incubation ecosystem in Sweden is flourishing, providing an ideal environment for innovative entrepreneurs and startups. It would be a great pleasure to visit a country that hosts leading incubators, accelerators, and startup-supporting organizations such as Arctic Business, Inkubera, Norrsken, or Chalmers Ventures. Exchanging know-how and best practices in company formation is crucial for the development of incubation sector, enabling effective transformation and scaling of innovations. 🫂🚀 I am excited about the opportunity to build cooperation between Poland and Sweden, as well as other international collaborations that support the CEE ecosystem in its transformation ✈️. Initiatives like Impact Pioneers '24, organized by Svenska institutet, provide a chance to co-create global networks that support sustainable development and entrepreneurship. As one of 60 participants selected from nearly 1400 applicants from 22 countries, I look forward to contributing to the growth of entrepreneurship's impact worldwide and creating positive change together! 🌍 🤝🇸🇪 💚 Let's create brigther future together - stay tuned!

Visiting the countries where you're expanding your business is key to building meaningful connections and understanding the local market. At Canada StartHub we have been expanding our strategies to connect with international entrepreneurs across various countries, and I had the pleasure of being part of this entrepreneurial mission organized by the BCCC Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce and ACATE - Associação Catarinense de Tecnologia (Catarinense Technology Association) in Brazil for the Startup Summit in Florianopolis/ SC. During this incredible event, I had the opportunity to meet with Brazilian leaders and entrepreneurs, and to strengthen partnerships across the innovation ecosystem. One of the highlights was being interviewed by Peter Hawkins, Co-chair of the BCCC, who I admire as a leader and who has been an incredible advocate for more business exchange between the two countries. We had the chance to discuss the challenges and opportunities global leaders face when expanding to new markets. It was a great exchange of insights on how we can better support these leaders in their journey. 🎥 Thanks to Flowjin, an innovative AI-powered startup at DMZ in Toronto that made editing this video seamless and allowed me use better my time to share important moments of the conversation. Huge thanks to BCCC and ACATE for planning and hosting us during this mission, and for the support of DMZ and Mitacs on this journey. Together, we are forging stronger global business connections and helping entrepreneurs succeed internationally. #globalbusiness #internationalexpansion #entrepreneurship #brazilcanadapartnership #canadastarthub #innovation #AI #DMZ #Mitacs #BCCC #ACATE #startupsummit #businessgrowth

Having participated in the CIX Summit 2024, I am compelled to share my reflections on an event that proved to be a crucible of innovation and entrepreneurship. The summit provided an unparalleled platform for engaging with some of the most visionary and accomplished figures in the startup ecosystem. The opportunity to network was particularly notable, fostering valuable connections that I believe will have a lasting impact. However, every great event offers lessons on areas for enhancement. A point of improvement I observed was within the Meeting Exchanges segment. The limited number of experts available for in-depth discussions on the pre seed stage was noticeable. Those of us encountering registration delays faced challenges in securing these invaluable interactions, highlighting a potential area for future refinement. For subsequent iterations of the summit, I advocate for the introduction of a bespoke matching system. This would ensure startups are paired with experts based on their specific industry focus and strategic objectives, optimizing the value of these mentorship sessions. Moreover, the pronounced presence of Iranian entrepreneurs at the summit was both inspiring and indicative of the vibrant talent pool within our community, especially here in Toronto. This underscores the significant contributions and potential our community holds within the global entrepreneurial landscape. Looking forward to the future, I am enthusiastic about the prospect of these enhancements being integrated into the next CIX Summit. I am excited to witness the continued evolution and success of our entrepreneurial ecosystem. #CIXSummit2024 #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Networking #CommunityGrowth
