Europe’s tech landscape is booming, yet most companies still instinctively turn to American, Israeli or Chinese solutions... Why is that?
And more importantly, how can we shift our mindset to be more inclusive of 'our own' technology?
Join this MashUp for an inspiring exploration of how your organization can embrace trustworthy, innovative and sovereign European technologies.
Through use cases and recent events we dive into an open discussion to uncover how our own mindset instinctively turns towards prominent technologies, guided by three experts from Simac.
Discover about European alternative tech and why it might be a strategic and competitive advantage for your business.
This is our expert:
Thomas Vandeput – Account Manager
supported by Stijn Vanderlinden & Steven De Prins
A MashUp is a conversation, not a presentation. However, every MashUp will have an expert in the room who initiates a discussion and answers your in-depth questions. There is plenty of time to share your own experiences and learn from others. This MashUp is part of the Hubs4Growth TechXperience sessions.
Join us for another intriguing Leuven MindGate MashUp that zooms in on this complex but urgent question.
