Imagine you are entering the world's biggest #startup #incubator. That means you get into Station F in #Paris center. And you are representing #SYSTAGfiles - a #startup within an existing well-running company #SYSTAG - your company. There is at least some awe in your face. You have been selected to attend this missing organised by IMT Starter in #Evry - the oldest French #incubator with 8 other applicants from all over Europe out of 100 applications. You are even more honored.
In the morning we had presentations by French Tech, the start-up team with the French Ministry of Economy and Finance, the BPI, the French Development Bank, and a panel with 3 leading VCs and 2 business angels who also are IMT Starter Mentors. You will be able to have feedback session with them on Friday. That's more that you can imagine.
In the afternoon we had the opportunity to learn about the network of Orange fabs around the world which house 120 startups in 3 dozen locations around the planet. You get connected to those people in Orange, on of the biggest telecom's worldwide, to understand how they work with tech companies and what programs they run to get more agile and flexible as an organisation to serve the everchanging requests and needs of their professional and private clients.
Writing this it comes to your mind that you are in the right place at the right time. #SYSTAGfiles will make the difference for working on the go. That can be taken for granted. And the organizers of IMT Starter and the whole crowd of this delegation will have a brilliant time and learning experience on this mission - thanks to Augustin and Niraj who are making that happen day by day.
