French-German back to (school) work meetup
Back to (school) work Meetup
C'est la rentrée des classes 🎶
Bonjour Berlin! It’s been a summer of sports in Berlin and Paris — with the European Football Cup and the Olympics taking over both cities! Now let's get back to work!
Politically, France and Germany are both pushing for a European Tech deal to boost European competitiveness — and VC’s are central part of this ecosystem.
Now we’re back to school work, French Tech Berlin is teaming up with Atlantic Labs and FoodLabs to unpack the synergies between the two most prominent startup scenes in Europe: France 🇫🇷 and Germany 🇩🇪.
What will happen?
Over a short discussion, titled Franco-German VC Investment at a Glance moderated by Emilie Vallauri (French Tech Berlin and Techstars), Stefan Albers (XAnge), Thorben Rothe (IRIS) and Alice Bardon Catineau (Atlantic Labs), Jonathan Uthe-Spencker (FoodLabs) will unpack the dynamics of the French and German startup ecosystems from a VC point of view.
What’s driving French VCs to Berlin? What are German VCs loving about French tech? What can the two startup scenes learn from each other? All those questions will be answered!
The conversation will be followed by casual drinks and informal networking — as we watch the sunset on the Atlantic Labs x FoodLabs terrace (weather permitting).
On the Agenda:
6:00pm: doors open
6:30pm: short discussion "Franco-German VC Investment at a Glance"
