Silicon Valley is not the only place where tech innovation happens. The thing I've noticed in all of my meetings is that Switzerland is at the forefront of innovation and value-added products. There's only one challenge. America is a competitive business environment. But I'm excited about helping Swiss SMEs adapt their approach to; 1. Grow their businesses. 2. Meet the demands of the American consumer. All without getting lost in the noise of the American culture. Let's get it! #sme #business #scale #america

Why Does the Industrial Promotion of Caribbean Neurovision Have Very Little to Offer in the International Market? Lack of Participation in International Markets and Digital Presence: The Caribbean and LATAM have minimal participation in international markets and virtually nonexistent digital presence. This makes them ideal havens for war criminals and other interests that do not align with globalization, sustainable development, or economies based on the Euro, Dollar, or Bitcoin. Difficulty Importing High-Quality Products at Low Cost Technological Deficiency: The lack of investment in R&D and digital marketing hinders the development of Caribbean Neurovision in healthy economies. Shortage of Qualified Talent: Young industries are not prepared to understand the foundations of efficient industrial operation. Small Market Size and Production Scale: Caribbean countries have small internal markets, allowing for food startups to thrive in an Asian-style growth model with American influences. This post aims to raise awareness among industries and entrepreneurs, establishing business relationships with interested parties.

🌐 Transatlantic Technology Capabilities & Collaborative Opportunities 🤝 The U.S. and Europe lead the world's strongest trade and investment partnership! After a brief 2020 slowdown, 2021 saw record highs in transatlantic trade, with goods reaching $1.1 trillion and U.S. foreign direct investment in Europe hitting $253 billion. 📈 Bilateral U.S.-EU R&D flows lead globally, with Europe accounting for 56% of total U.S. R&D. However, European tech firms lag behind U.S. counterparts, growing revenues 40% more slowly and investing 40% less in R&D. 📊 Despite these gaps, the 2021 Global Innovation Index (GII), Europe remains an innovation powerhouse! 8 European economies rank among the top 15 most innovative globally, and EU-based organizations contributed 20% of global R&D in 2019. Encouragingly, Europe maintained its strong presence in the 2023 rankings, with 8 countries still among the top 15 innovators. 🚀 When it comes to AI, the U.S. leads in top-tier research with 60% of top researchers, while Europe and China follow with 18% and 11% respectively. This suggests a promising opportunity for transatlantic AI collaboration. 🤖 Understanding R&D investment trends and disparities is vital for shaping collaborative strategies, leveraging each region's strengths, and fostering a more balanced and mutually beneficial transatlantic tech ecosystem. You can see a breakdown of R&D spending in the chart below. 💡 Let's harness the strengths and synergies of the transatlantic partnership to drive innovation, growth, and global leadership in tech! 🌟 #TransatlanticPartnership #TechnologyInnovation #RnD #AICollaboration 🔗 If you’d like to learn more about more EU-US Tech Relationships, head over to EIT and download our report, https://lnkd.in/gzUfVeT5.

🌟 Save the Date – Latin America Comes to Berkeley Haas! 🗓️ Read on to discover more and be part of this incredible event next week! We’re excited to announce the LatAm Business Forum hosted at the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business on October 24th. 🚀 Why Latin America, and why now? According to Atlantico's Digital Transformation Report 2023, the potential for value creation as the region progresses is immense: - Tech companies' market cap as a % of GDP is just 1.8%, compared to 64% in the US (Q2 2023). - VC investments as a % of GDP were only 0.1% in 2022, whereas India boasts 0.7% and Southeast Asia 0.3%. However, Latin American founders have already generated a whopping $82 billion in market cap at exit! ✨ And this is only the beginning! Latin America has a growing list of exciting tech companies valued at over $1 billion, which are on the brink of going public. More women are stepping up as founders and investors, actively contributing to the region's digital and technical transformation. This dynamic ecosystem is generating a potent multiplier effect for the entire region! It's a privilege to be part of the team that's putting this event together, alongside inspiring classmates, speakers, and sponsors. Learn more and register here https://lnkd.in/gM2VTMTR!
