Pitch at the Demoday at the Pépinières d’Entreprises.
June 9, 2023, will be remembered by all those who took part in the Demo Day at the Pépinières d’Entreprises in Aosta as a milestone event in the annual training journey of startups. On that emotionally charged day, entrepreneurs from various backgrounds, including the promising Guidexpress, enthusiastically presented their innovative ideas.
Alongside the bright proposals of the young companies, authoritative figures from local institutions took the stage, including the President of the Young Entrepreneurs of Confindustria Valle d'Aosta. The Expo that framed the event provided an extraordinary showcase not only for the services and products of startups incubated in Valdostan incubators, but also for representatives of local entities interested in promoting innovation and economic development.
The Demo Day represented a unique opportunity to celebrate entrepreneurial talent and emerging innovation in the region, highlighting the hard work done by startups throughout the year and their tangible contribution to the economic and social growth of Valle d'Aosta. Among the participants, Coralie Pellissier made her public debut presenting the Guidexpress project, whose pitch was warmly received by the audience.
However, the day was not without turbulence, as it was marked by out-of-place and unjustified "political" events that cast a shadow over the celebration of innovation. These events undoubtedly undermined the morale of Coralie Pellissier and her team, who found themselves facing an unexpected and unsettling situation. However, as true entrepreneurial resilience shows, the obstacle only ignited an even stronger flame in the hearts of Guidexpress members.
In life, challenges are inevitable, but it is the reaction to them that determines success or failure. The Guidexpress team suffered a harsh blow that day, but instead of succumbing to despair, they chose to rise with determination and turn that experience into a springboard for even greater success. Their resilience and fighting spirit demonstrated that, even in the face of the most hostile adversity, it is possible to emerge stronger than before.
The entrepreneurial journey is often fraught with obstacles and pitfalls, but it is through adaptability and resilience that the most challenging hurdles can be overcome. The Guidexpress team has shown these qualities in abundance, turning a negative experience into an opportunity for growth and further strengthening their commitment to advancing their innovative vision.
Despite the unexpected events, the Demo Day was still an extraordinary success for the Valdostan startup community, showcasing its potential and determination in pursuing innovation and development to the world. The event confirmed the fundamental role of startups in shaping the region's economic and social future and underscored the importance of supporting and promoting entrepreneurship and innovation at both local and national levels.
