SUMMARY:Thessaloniki International Fair - Technology Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Investor event taking place in the context of Technology Forum 2022 in Thessaloniki comprises two panels featuring distinguished speakers who have been invited to share their views on the following topics: \n  \nPanel Discussion 1: Startups: The journey from inception to exit and how it can impact an ecosystem \nIt is generally known that the journey that tech entrepreneurs have to make from the inception of an (innovative) idea to founding a start-up\, funding it\, managing it\, and ultimately finding a suitable exit\, is far from trivial\, paved with numerous challenges that need to be tackled along the way if the venture is to have an impact on its ecosystem. This panel focuses on sharing tips and secrets that can help new tech entrepreneurs tackle these challenges. Its expected outcomes are: \n\nTo provide advice on how to raise funding from angels and VCs.\nTo offer tips on how tech start-ups can be managed effectively.\nTo discuss viable exit options for start-ups and investors.\n\n  \nPanel Discussion 2: Transition to Impact Investing and Responsible Start-ups for a Sustainable Future \n  \nRecently we are witnessing a global movement towards sustainability and moral accountability of organizations\, that increasingly pushes investors away from exclusively profit-oriented investees and towards investment strategies that consider social good alongside financial return; the term “socially responsible investment” (SRI) is often used to stand for such strategies. Impact investing is understood as the subset of SRI devoted to conscious creation of social impact. Indicators and metrics have been employed for quite some time to guide impact investment; however\, these indicators and metrics are typically designed for relatively mature businesses\, failing to consider the specific traits of start-ups. \n  \nThis panel focuses on impact investing in STEM start-ups. Its expected outcomes are: \n\nTo share views on the importance of impact investing in STEM start-ups.\nTo discuss how STEM start-ups can transition to more responsible forms of innovation. \nTo share views on the practicality of screening STEM start-ups for responsibility in the pre-investment stage.\n\n  \nFind out more about the event. \n

SUMMARY:The Last Frontier: The best deals of the century will be made in Africa
DESCRIPTION:This is a Bantaba event to help ambitious international angels tap into the exclusive deal flow of the best African VCs. In addition\, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the high-growth markets on the African Continent. \nSpeakers include Zachariah George – managing partner at Africa’s most active VC\, Launch Africa; Fatou Diagne – Managing partner at Bootstrap Europe and other key ecosystem leaders. The session will also be attended by innovative African startups and established Angel investors who are already investing in Africa. \nRegister \nIT’S TIME TO DISCOVER THE REAL OPPORTUNITIES IN AFRICA \nAs technology continues to play a pivotal role in national development and wealth creation. Investing in tech startups has become an excellent opportunity to maximise returns and diversify one’s portfolio. However\, market saturation and high competition for deals in developed markets have shrunken access to good opportunities for Angel Investors. \nEnter the African continent\, a diverse mix of 54 countries touted as the last frontier for high growth. The continent’s rising population is expected to account for 25% of the world’s population in 2050. It’s also estimated that its combined business and consumer spending will hit a record USD 16.12 trillion in the same year. \nThat’s not all\, the continent is one of the fastest-growing startup ecosystems in the world with its active tech hubs doubling to over 640 in just 3 years. These megatrends are perfect for successful investments\, which recognised investors in Africa have generally taken advantage of. Boasting of the world’s most attractive lower ticket sizes and a very positive exit environment with new and bigger Africa-focused funds like Norrsken’s $200M fund and DFIs; Africa is truly irresistible. \nHowever\, for investors outside the African continent\, the playing field is not level due to a lack of proper local market understanding\, coupled with a high due-diligence cost\, and no access to attractive deal flow. This is the impetus for the Bantaba event. An opportunity to bridge the gap in market understanding and provide access to attractive deal flow. \nRegister \n  \n \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nLamin k. Darboe \nCEO & Co-founder Bantaba \n\n\n\n \nPierre Jallow \nMarket Entry Specialist \n\n\n\n \nHuseyin R Demirhisar \nCEO – BiD Capital Partners \n\n\n\n \nFatou Diagne \nManaging Partner – Bootstrap Europe \n\n\n\n \nZacharias George \nManaging Partner at Launch Africa \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nHosted by \nBantaba AB\n\n\nAn invite-only platform for exclusive deal-flow to African tech-startups.

The air intake is a key part of the Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) system for satellites that Kreios Space is developing. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImpactprotection \noffers an effective and material solution for objects that suffer high impact forces. It is a light material\, flexible\, ease to apply\, with good thermal characteristics. It improves the level of protection against debris\, by increasing the life span of the satellite and reduce their maintenance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrbital Projects: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nBIMATIARE by Pangea\,  \nAenium & Diondo \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\naims at developing and validating in relevant environment an advanced additive technology for manufacturing of bi/tri metallic interface applied to rocket engines and the aerospike nozzle engine\, the most demanding chemical propulsion system. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nCircular Functional Clean Tech Textiles by RubyMoon\, Longworth  \n& Recuprenda \n\n\n\n\n\n\nwill enable the creation of high value SMART textiles for new thermally insulated water sports clothing. Using the resulting reclaimed polyamide and combining additives of performance enhancing materials for durability and increased life cycle\, as well as low carbon impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMVRPT by the Magos  \n& VR Pilot \nwill integrate the Magos gloves into VRflow platform.
