Hi everyone!
I just returned from an exciting adventure at SMAU Paris and I'm so excited to share all the details with you! It has been an intense but incredibly rewarding journey, full of networking, pitching and business opportunities.
The week started with a welcome cocktail at the Italian Embassy in Paris, which was a fantastic opportunity to meet other participants and immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the event. Among the people present there was also the Councilor for Economic Development, Training and Work, as well as Vice President of the Valle d'Aosta Region, Bertchy Luigi Giovanni. Obviously we already knew him, but it was very important to have the opportunity to talk to him in a friendlier and less formal environment about our project and I think he understood how much the Guideexpress project is close to our hearts and how much we can highlight the Valley of Aosta. Many other representatives of public bodies and high-level companies such as L'Oréal and Trenord were also present and we presented our project to everyone and exchanged ideas and gathered ideas from their great experience.
The next day we moved to Station F, an innovative hub in the heart of Paris, to continue our discussions and business meetings. It was the perfect time to do my pitch, and I have to say it went even better than the one in London! I felt much more comfortable and confident, and this was reflected in the results we achieved. We have concluded several very interesting commercial negotiations that will certainly lead to great opportunities for our company.
As in London where we met Dario from Start up Pick Roll in Paris we bonded a lot with the start ups Babbaiola (the largest LGBTQIA community), BeMyHERO (brings cosplayers, heroes and entertainers into contact with families who would like a visit to the superhero or their children's favorite princess) and Kulto (innovates agritech by fusing sustainable agriculture with advanced vertical farming technologies in the world of cannabis).
Unfortunately, the unpredictable weather in Paris also gave me a nice cold, which made it necessary to skip the third day of the event. But despite this small setback, we are extremely satisfied with what we achieved during our participation in SMAU Paris.
I would like to sincerely thank the SMAU organization for their extraordinary work in organizing such an inspiring and profitable event. We can't wait to return and participate in SMAU Milan in October, where we will certainly continue to cultivate business relationships and look for new opportunities to grow our project.
See you soon with new adventures and new successes!
