🌟 Hear from our Boot Camp Week 1 Expert - Amandine Le Pape! 🌟 GovTech Connect hosted a fireside chat with Amandine, Co-Founder of Element, the sovereign, open-source collaboration platform in use across several European governments. Amandine shared some of her key learnings with the GovTech Connect Western European startup cohort, which were developed whilst building and scaling her own GovTech business with an international footprint. 📈 "GovTech presents unique challenges compared to the B2B market, but it offers significant impact potential. Engage with the policy debate to gain visibility on key problems that government cares about, and shape a powerful narrative for how you can work together." 🌍 "For new, young providers to be competitive it's important to employ a commercial team experienced in partnering with government entities. When scaling to new countries, invest in local hires to enhance the understanding of the local context.” Keep an eye out for more insights from the programme, as we continue to help international startups shape the future of government technology! 🚀 #GovTech #Innovation #BootCamp #GovernmentTechnology #Leadership #SmartCities #StartupOpportunity #InnovationLeadership Delivered by Intellera Consulting, PUBLIC, The Lisbon Council& Politecnico di Milano
