Die US-amerikanische Company betreibt weltweit mehr als 60 sogenannte Accelerator Programme in diversen Industrien, wie beispielsweise Fin- und Insuretec, Brand and Retail, Internet of Things, Energy, Mobility, Health, Media und Sustainability. Deutschland, so ist sie überzeugt, habe im Hinblick auf die Digitalisierung „geschlafen“ und sie fasst die aktuelle Situation wie folgt zusammen: „Die Zeit ist zu knapp, um den Innovationsmangel intern aufholen zu können.“ Ihr Ziel ist es, eine Brücke zwischen Hamburg, dem Silicon Valley - wo das das Headquarter von Plug and Play ist - und anderen globalen Standorten zu schlagen.

- What about the the first 2 years of Plug and Play Italy? - Can projects and initiatives such as PnP be considered as powerful catalyzators in building an agrifood-tech ecosystem? - Considering the complexity and widening of foodtech, and more in general of innovation, can we consider open Innovation as the best way for SME and corporate to do innovation? - Has Covid forced Plug and Play and its partners to switch the focus on some specific categories? We asked these questions to Arianna Maschietto, Corporate Partnerships & Program Manager at Plug and Play Tech Center

Plug and Play Tech Center's CEO Saeed Amidi and Desiree Wagner, Senior Partner Success Manager, discuss the origin of this start-up accelerator with Robert Eaton, FSA, MAAA. They discuss collaborations between large insurance companies and start-ups, effects of the pandemic on their business model, and the benefits actuaries provide to InsurTech start-ups.  

Was a true pleasure to discuss B2B SaaS Scaleup sales with Fredrik Ström who before coaching entrepreneurs at Plug and Play Tech Center helped Dataiku in enterprise sales to hit a $2.8B valuation. 3 things that we learnt from him: 1️⃣ Enter the client's world: Empathy and active listening are are essential to understand how clients understand, evaluate and buy in THEIR world, instead of trying to "map" them onto your sales process, deal stages or similar 2️⃣ Selling is learning. The co-founder & CEO needs to remain close to customers to learn quick enough and feed back these insights to enable quick but efficient growth 3️⃣Unlearning takes time: Fredrik favours hiring younger sales people as experienced reps often need to unlearn certain behaviors or change the mindset into a completely new sales approach.

She oversees corporations' strategies and supports them in accelerating their innovation activities in the Bay Area, sometimes setting up their innovation roadmaps and providing related industry expertise. Risa shares valuable insights on multiple facets of engaging with Japanese corporations, exciting events from the past year, and how Japanese young professionals can thrive outside of Japan. Now let's get started. Episode Mentions: Plug and Play Tech Center Asks, Challenges, and Goals: “My goal is to see as many Japanese young professionals as possible, thriving outside of the country. Whether it's government sector, private sector, startups or academic field, I see almost no Japanese population compared to the rest of Asia here in Silicon Valley. This is even more true for the younger generation and I really think that Japan has so much potential if we can allocate assets and provide opportunities for the younger generations seek these career paths. After then, Tokyo and then eventually the entire Japan will be the ranked as one of the most innovative countries.” VCedia and Host Info/Promos: Follow VCedia @the_vcedia on Twitter and Instagram, The VCedia on YouTube, and on our website at www.vcedia.com.

Episode 25 Philip Seiji Vincent (ASIJ 2007) Managing Partner (Japan) - Plug and Play Japan ​Seiji explains to Nick the role of Plug and Play in Japan, and how they help create bridges between the large corporates in Japan, with new innovative startups. The two discuss the difficulties of bridging the two very different cultures of innovative start-ups and conservative Japanese corporate culture. Seiji, having spent roughly half of his life in Japan, and half in the United States, a bilingual and bicultural individual feels like his role of connecting startups to large corporations is a perfect fit for him, and for international school graduates who often possess this similar background. The two discuss how Japan's technology was cutting edge in the 80s and 90s, but how the environment in regards to tech has been rapidly changing the past few decades. And in certain ways, Japan is falling behind, and how slowly but surely this has been leading towards a push by the Japanese government as well as major Japanese companies to begin to invest more in startups and become part of the venture capital culture. ​The two discuss the evolution of what is considered "professional dress", and how Silicon Valley is revolutionizing what it means to "dress as a professional" around the world, as Seiji helps explain to Nick why he keeps seeing Patagonia clothing being worn by tech executives. Philip Seiji Vincent (ASIJ 2007) Managing Partner (Japan) - Plug and Play Japan Phillip is the Managing Partner & CEO of Plug and Play Japan, a subsidiary of Plug and Play Tech Center located in Silicon Valley. He started working for Plug and Play in Silicon Valley in 2014 and headed both the IoT division and Mobility division before moving to Tokyo to start Plug and Play Japan in 2017. Plug and Play Japan is focused on creating the largest innovation platform in Japan connecting startups and larger corporations worldwide with hubs in Tokyo and Kyoto. Prior to working for Plug and Play, Phillip was an Account Executive for Uniglobe Kisco, the U.S. subsidiary of KISCO, a large Japanese trading company focused on chemicals and materials. Phillip graduated from San Diego State University. Phillip has spent half of his life in Japan and the other half in the U.S.

Due to the COVID-19, this year’s gala will take place online July 28th! Please visit https://michigancelebrates.org/ Here, he speaks with Kylee Guenther who is CEO of Pivot Materials. Pivot Materials was nominated as a SmartZone Small Business for 2020! About Pivot Materials Pivot Materials is a millennial-woman owned Detroit based social impact business that is reforming the plastics industry. The name Pivot comes from their goal to change or pivot the plastics industry. Plastics are used in almost everything we do, from safe toys for kids to disposable medical devices. Unfortunately, some of these products eventually end up in our waterways, but most goes to landfills. Pivot Materials reduces waste, reuses waste, and educates consumers through their products. They specialize in manufacturing composite plastics using natural fiber bamboo or rice hull fiber. Pivot’s products are light-weight, sustainable, durable, and cost competitive and do not require changes in the current manufacturing setup or special tooling. Through our products, we reduce waste, reuse waste, and educate consumers. Kylee Guenther was one of the 13 Sephora Accelerate Cohort members, where she looked to create an eco-friendly plastic alternative for beauty/retail rigid packaging. The company is currently working with Plug and Play Tech Center, which is a tech startup accelerator. In 2019, Pivot Materials will be expanding to other natural, biodegradable fibers like rice waste and hemp. In addition, they are also launching a line of home and houseware products made from its bamboo composite. » Subscribe for More: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX... » Visit MBN website: https://www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ MBN ON SOCIAL: MBN YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX...

“Carbon policy writ large … has not gone far enough to drive industrial players to change how they do business. In the interim, until policy catches up, or if the global sentiment gets to a point where there is a carbon tax around the world, the onus is on the entrepreneur to make a business case for today.”  Apoorv Sinha is the Founder and CEO of Carbon Upcycling Technologies (CUT), a Canadian cleantech startup that is turning CO2 waste into a profitable commodity. CUT’s proprietary technology manufactures CO2-enriched nanomaterials, improving the performance and value of concrete, polymers and adhesives, and energy storage products. CUT is a finalist for the Carbon XPRIZE, and Apoorv has been honored as a Clean 50 Emerging Leader.  Today, Apoorv joins Christophe and Alexsandra to introduce the concept of upcycling and explain the company’s intention to use today’s pollution to create the materials of tomorrow. He describes CUT’s manhole solution as well as its innovation in the realm of cement and plastics.

On this inaugural OG Crypto Series episode, I, Chris Groshong sit down with Managing Partner at Stillmark Capital, Alyse Killeen to discuss what it takes to have longevity in the Crypto and Blockchain industry. This is a new series we're launching called The "Crypto OG Series" where I tap into my rolodex of VIPs, movers and shakers from the Blockchain space that have been around the industry and share their knowledge, perspective and philosophies. In this one, we talk about Venture Capital in Crypto and Alyse’s philosophical approach to investing through Stillmark Capital. Are there any differences between LA and Silicon Valley approaches to investing? And what does she look for in founders and does emotional intelligence play a factor? Hear a story about the history of entrepreneurship in her family dating back several generations. Alyse and I first met at an afterparty in June of 2014 as part of a conference (no longer in existence) called Coin Congress. She said some very motivating words to me that helped me push through tough times. I point this out because this industry is small compared to other Technology categories. You never know how the words you speak will be received or the importance someone may give to them. The people you affect may become allies, liaisons or partners in the future. Be positive, genuine and spread goodwill. You will be rewarded many times over.     About Alyse Killeen Founding Partner StillMark Co. Founder and Executive Director of City Fellows Consortium and Women in Venture. Mentor at Silicon Valley’s Plug and Play Tech Center and Alchemist Accelerator, and to NYFTL by the Partnership Fund for NYC and Springboard Enterprises.
