Bridges were built at the Fintech Festival!
SWITCH and the Fintech Festival have been up to the promise. Very intense, packed with meetings, connections and events. As hard as it is to summarize it all, here's our attempt in pictures.
#StartupOfTheWeek – Powata
Entrepreneurs like to juggle many balls, they say. Well Powata is the 3rd venture of Jean-Christophe Bouglé and Sophie Normand so it certainly true for them! Let's hear their views on the challenge in the retail industry and the huge opportunity in front of them.
#StartupOfTheWeek – H3Dynamics
H3 Dynamics has something special. First because they've been lining-up awards recently, second because they're about to close their Series B funding of US$16M, and third because they have a masterplan that goes way beyond drones! A great conversation with Taras Wankewycz, Founder and CEO, talking about fuel cells, drones, China, Trump and Kanye West 😎!
#StartupOfTheWeek – DominoPOS
Retail is a huge market in Asia. But the diversity of Asian countries make it a challenge to properly address it. Let's hear the study of Bruno Zysman, who's been in the frontlines for the last 25 years. I bet you have a few things to learn!
