They experimented it. This is why they are coming back.
I was really impressed by the diversity of topics from Space Technologies to AI and up to Semiconductor Technologies to give a few examples.
Participants came with all kinds of different backgrounds and countries, so we’ve been able to diversify the conference which adds a lot of flavors to the content. I was also impressed by the caliber of the discussions. It was interesting to assess how to leverage AI in society to address environmental issues but also keeping in mind all the privacy issues.
The location is very nice, Bordeaux is an extremely beautiful city, it is walkable and close to the airport, so from a logistical perspective it is fantastic to come here. It is a nice change from some of the larger cities. But INPHO is especially about people, it allows corporates, venture capitalists and corporate ventures from across the world to reconnect with one another. These connections are valuable for us and for our portfolio companies.
Inspiring… this is the key highlight of INPHO Venture Summit. The quality of the discussion, the diversity of profiles and the quality of the start-up selection is really inspiring to consider new collaborations and new business models. I came a bit out of curiosity after joining The Hive’s Annual Summit in the US, and for sure I will be back in 2 years for INPHO 2024
INPHO is also about the selection of start-ups of high diversity and high quality. It is always a great time to discover companies with new technologies from across different industriesd.
It is the first time I really see a change of mindset. Every company was looked at through the prism of sustainability. I have never seen that before in a tech conference.
What makes INPHO different from other events is the opportunity to meet people from different fields but in a more private atmosphere and with a real openness to discussions. It is really a unique thing.
Disrupt is AI or be disrupted by fast moving companies. Back office transformation is required moving from ERP to driven SAAS. Scalability of operations implies human + Data + Machine learning.
Innovation is a product addressing a need deployed within a new environment. China will become carbon neutral in 2026 whereas Europe is leading on this front. AI = function (Data, Maths, programming, experience…)
INPHO Venture Summit was a very different experience. It felt like a very professional community, fostering a good environment for meaningful exchanges between industry leaders.
