🥖 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗿ü𝗵𝘀𝘁ü𝗰𝗸 #𝟮𝟮 – 𝗔 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🥖 In a few days on September 26, we’re hosting the La French Tech Community Breakfast at hubraum Innovation Campus in #Berlin Schöneberg, and I’m really excited about it! ☕ I first came across French Tech 🇨🇵 in September 2015 at the #DLD Innovation Festival in Tel Aviv. Picture this: a hot rooftop, an #Orange Telecom side event, and none other than Emmanuel Macron, who was then the French Minister of Economy, talking about the potential of French Tech. That day, he opened the French Tech Hub in Tel Aviv, and I had the sense we may witnessing something big. Fast forward to today, and French Tech has become a thriving ecosystem that’s taken the global stage. It’s been incredible to see how it has grown, with government support and a clear vision for international expansion. So, why does this matter? Because at hubraum, we share that same passion for #innovation, #collaboration, and helping startups grow. This is why we’re especially excited to host the next French Tech Frühstück together with REAKTOR BERLIN – an event that brings together #startups, #founders, and #developers from the Berlin ecosystem and beyond, all with that shared growth mindset. 📅 When: September 26 📍 Where: hubraum Innovation Campus, Schöneberg I am looking forward to grabbing a coffee, sharing stories, and seeing where the conversation takes us! ☕ Emilie Vallauri Gunnar Graef Tom Josczok Riccardo Pascotto Sascha Schubert Tobias Wittich Jana Eisfeld #FrenchTech #Startups #Innovation #Networking #Community #Collaboration #GrowthMindset
