World Trade Center San Diego’s Post

Before the big European summer break, we teamed up with Serena to provide our founders with food for thought on why and, most importantly, how to expand in Europe under optimal conditions. The coffee was packed with actionable insights on where to start, who to partner with, and important tips and traps to consider. Here are the top three takeaways from our conversation: 🎢 Strategic Planning always takes more time than expected and does not only involve analyzing external risks but also considering how your international presence can enhance (or hinder) your equity story. ⏱ The "go big and fast" approach is tempting, but ensure your home market is strong and your team is prepared before expanding. Also, prioritize markets with manageable entry costs and favorable conditions. 🇩🇪 While Germany is crucial for a strong European presence, it’s also one of the most complex markets regulatory-wise. Start by learning the ropes in easier markets like Belgium or Switzerland. And these are just the tip of the iceberg! Thank you to Antoine Chatelain and Alexandre Fretti for sharing their experience and Alexis KAYSER x Blondie Café for hosting us with the best breakfast. 🥐 cc Romain Sion, Olivier Martret, Melina Foehrenbach, Mathilde Lesage

郭總 Vincent Kwok of HPE Hong Kong is a very good friend and someone I respect a lot. And 3 things we have in common: 1) we both work for our company for long time and very committed to our customers and our company; 2) We both have the same vision to continue to help Hong Kong and our customers for our long term success; 3) we actually went to the same high school together in Hong Kong as 師兄弟 (senior/junior brothers in LSC), when we were teenagers; No matter what challenges we are facing in Hong Kong, nothing can make me feel better to have good people with similar visions around me, working together to make Hong Kong the place we are proud of, not just for us, but more importantly, for our next generation.

Proud to be part of the #LatamWeek2024 and share my work and thoughts on global brain data governance for mental health. Mental health is a global challenge that requires collaboration across the globe in research and innovation that ensures #diversity and #equity. We need better understanding of legal, societal and ethical factors that condition collection, processing and sharing of brain data across nations, as well as efficient processes and tools than enable stakeholders, in particular people with lived experience, to steer science and technology development towards social good and be able to benefit from it. #MentalHealth #BrainData #ResponsibleAI #LatinAmerica Brain Research International Data Governance & Exchange ZHAW Center for Artificial Intelligence (CAI)
