Why we need to co-operate

CALL FOR COLLABORATION

Europe, the continent of diversity. Each and every country in Europe has its own story tell – no matter if we’re talking about history, language, culture or politics. We truly believe that this diversity is the key to growing successful businesses. Still, as the world is getting smaller and smaller, we also see an urgent need to co-operate: across borders and across industries.

Future Focus Areas

EUROPE’S UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

Silicon Valley, the epicenter of innovation & venture capital. Asia, the global hub for talent & know-how. Africa, the often underestimated but emerging continent with enormous potential. As it seems that the rest of the world is evolving at the speed of light, we’re raising the questions: What about Europe? Where is this continent of history & cultural diversity heading? Which areas will lead the way?
