I share a great experience of a start up events.
At the beginning of September I visit with a friend STHLM TECH FEST, in Stockholm at the Stockholm waterfront congress. It was a nice time and a great day to know and discover more. I get a great input from a start-up working on big data. I speak with two team members, what was their actual work, the products that they offer and how they find customers. Was difficult to completely understand their business.
What they are doing is provide company with software and service to analyse big amount of different data. This is the period in which companies have huge amount of data coming from web, connection etc, but they don’t know how interpret and use them. Slowly this data if not well handle they become a cost instead of give additional strategic value. They propose a usage of those data to get important strategic information.
This start-upcis called Triggerbee create 3 years a go, they have a high growth rate in the last year. They are in 11 people and try to expand and assume new programmer/coder to realise their products and be able to assist their product.
Now I’m working in a university project and with my team we are collaborate with a big consulting company. During this period in collaboration with this company we realize that the new trend and a great competitive advantage is given by use of big data. Especially in the financial sector (bank), where FinTech company are growing and old financial power such as bank are losing their market.
Since I speak introduce my self to this company and take their contact now I was able to contact them to ask additional information that can contribute to our project and maybe carry out beneficial collaboration for the consulting company and Triggerbee.
In addition the experience of participating to that event was really inspiring, due to different reason. The main one is for opportunity of see different typologies of innovative products as virtual reality games, ornament electromagnetic levitation (ElectroYou), different kinds of apps and a sturt-up consulting company(EY). Moreover I had also the opportunity to have a quick speech with the creator or collaborator, about their history.
This event was also really interesting to listen discussions about city sustainability and new ideas that are coming out, regarding innovation, organization and ideology. Really inspiring was a speech from a member of Food Tech.

Interesting! What was the most important thing you learned from this particular event?
Thank you, I would say that i learn different things, sure the important is create connection with people you never know what will happen in the future, morover create connection is also a way to enjoy the moment, speck with people, lisent experiences interact give your opinion. Immge to be an exibition and go around without talk with anybody, afer a while it will just become boring.
The second i would say by listen at speach form one, franch start-up CEO, who present his project and how they create the idea. They were talking about how to create a sustanible city, they develop a container autosufficient and indipendent that can produce organic fruit/vegetable in the middle of the city.
Nice! Was it maybe regarding the eco city concept: http://www.tianjinecocity.gov.sg ?
