🔤 The conversations at the ESCP Business School #Founders Lab reinforced a key message: building Europe's resilience requires much more than technological innovation. 🔄 It demands stronger collaboration between #academia, #entrepreneurship, #industry, and #policymakers. ▶️ Europe's structural dependencies are not only a geopolitical challenge. They are also about critical raw materials, energy, industrial capabilities, supply chains, infrastructure, and the technical talent needed to transform ideas into impact. 🔝 Every disruption raises new questions, and every #challenge creates an opportunity to innovate together. It was inspiring to exchange perspectives with researchers, founders, investors, and industry leaders who are committed to accelerating solutions for climate resilience and Europe's competitiveness. Looking forward to continuing these important conversations in the next edition of the #FoundersLab. Thanks to ESCP Foundation for the support of the Blue Factory ESCP iniciatives to Daniela Pavlova 🌎for organizing it and Niko Muñoz, Ph.D. Ramon Fisac GarciaStéphane L.

Because All start here ✨ The conversation #Europe needs to have, we're having it today at ESCP Business School #Madrid Campus. 🗺️ (*) Europe's Structural Dependencies set the scene. Where are the gaps, where is the risk, and crucially: where is the opportunity? Fernando Moroy Hueto, Antonio Fajardo 🇪🇸 🇳🇱 🇬🇧 🇩🇪, Niko Muñoz, Ph.D. mapped it out. 🏭 (*) Building Resilient Industries asked the harder question: how does industry actually adapt in a climate-vulnerable world? The answer involves deep tech, and it can't wait. Thank you Elisa Martin Hector Gonzalez Jimenez Ramon Fisac Garcia. 🔤 (*) Corporate Challenges got practical. #Cybersecurity, #duediligence, #data governance, the operational requirements that determine whether startups and corporates can actually work together. Laura Gaudino, Carlos Cordero Sanz, Sergio Poza Martínez Lucía Chávarri Padilla Stéphane L. Maisons held nothing back. (*) And just before lunch: Luna Gutierrez Castro took the stage for the Digital Future Workshop representing Launch4, a Spanish startup applying quantum computing to energy transition. Exactly the kind of solution this morning's conversations were calling for. Thank you Javier Tafur Olga Alonso Pelegrin and Daniela Pavlova 🌎 for the inspiring start. #BlueFactory #FromDependencyToOpportunity #EuropeanInnovation #ESCP ESCP Foundation
