GenAI is all the hype, but what does that really mean for innovation and the startup ecosystem? The German Startup Association and hubraum, the tech incubator of Telekom, are set to launch an insightful GenAI study looking at the startup ecosystem. 🔍 Taking a sneak peek: “Only 4% of founders see Europe as the future winner in the GenAI race. 68% of founders see the USA in the lead, 20% China.” Let’s discuss what we need to do to change that! I’m particularly looking forward to being part of a great panel and discussing the future of generative AI. Sign up to join the launch event 📍 in Berlin at the Merantix AI Campus 🗓️ on the 24th of April, starting at 5:30 pm, 📲 via this link: https://lmy.de/nJDo If you can’t make it – sign up anyway and join the Live-Stream!

I remember taking business flights 10 years ago and that regular moment of awkwardness of being offered gossip magazines instead of business papers like my male colleagues and then leaning in for the Financial Times or Handelsblatt. Thanks to STRIVE Magazine for making it more than obvious that women are not only interested in business topics (dah!) , but have A LOT to contribute and are shaping whole industries. Thanks to Katharina Wolff for creating such a relevant platform with incredible people like Lena Gercke Fabiana Mingrone Solveigh Hieronimus Niddal Salah-Eldin Marie Christine Padberg Julia Knörnschild contributing to the magazine and community. It was a huge privilege to write a column here for the last year. Whoever is interested in reading it in the latest issue, it’s about playing to win instead of avoiding to lose on tech topics in Europe!! I believe in it and am here to build this together with so many incredible people and women :) Here is the link on how to get the latest issue: https://lnkd.in/e2Xf94SH

It is a bit surreal …. sitting down with Hillary Clinton for lunch is not my usual gig. I read her book some twenty years ago at university, was inspired by her dedication to public service and her determination to shatter many glass ceilings for women. It was impressive back then and boy did she add many chapters to that story since!! And she remains an optimist at heart, if one that worries a lot. The room was filled with women I admire and draw strength from like our first lady Elke Büdenbender Anahita Thoms Tatjana Kiel Dunja Hayali. We were discussing how can we create more opportunities for female leadership, how can we help overcome this divisiveness in societies and keep the pillars of democracy intact: democratic and free elections and institutions, free market economy as social elevator and civic society as the glue holding things together. So I asked myself what is my purpose sitting in this room? I want to serve this purpose in the position I have. Opening more doors for women in leadership, creating technology that not only addresses pressing topics, but also works for society, enabling literacy on AI to make us empowered citizens. Let‘s go! Thanks for putting me in this room Kimberly Marteau Emerson Annette Kroeber-Riel Angela De Giacomo and Karen Boros!
