On March 7th 2024, the Digital Markets Act (#DMA), a groundbreaking European directive, will come into effect, fostering fairness and a startup-friendly environment regarding access to data. 🌏 ☘ The DMA forces technology giants like Google, Facebook or Amazon to open up their data to their competitors. It aims to ensure that these platforms operate fairly online. Startup Portugal has created the Above & Beyond series of events, a monthly gathering for all those involved in the Portuguese entrepreneurial ecosystem. Startin'blox was invited to pitch at the 24th episode of these events called "What DMA means for Startups and Scaleups". Alex Bourlier told on stage the story of why they created Startin'blox to answer their own freelancers sourcing problem in his previous startup, and how this makeshift solution became the data search engine that it is today. 💡 Watch the video to maintain a competitive edge and examine the possible advantages and obstacles presented by the Digital Markets Act. Thank you João Nunes Rosado, Startup Lisboa to have invited us on stage! #Dataspaces #DMA #startup #Portugal #DigitalMarketsAct https://lnkd.in/gg4DyxYi
