At the Award Ceremony you will have the opportunity to listen to the inspirational speech by Kamran Elahian, a global venture capitalist, and have the chance to take a closer look at the entrepreneurial world.
At the Pitch Theatre you will have the opportunity to meet the startuppers of the Start Up Day 2022 edition and to listen to the Pitches of their projects. It will be a great opportunity for networking!
Save the date! We are waiting for you!
Kamran is Founder and Chairman, Global Innovation Catalyst, LLC and advises various governments on the needed transition from fossil-based economies to sustainable innovation economies. In the past, as a global high-tech entrepreneur, he co- founded ten companies, had 6 exits, 4 of them were Unicorn IPOs with a total market cap of over $12B. For 15 yrs., he was Chairman of Global Catalyst Partners, a global VC firm ($350M under management) with investments in the U.S., Japan, China, India, Israel and Singapore. Underlying his vision for global philanthropy is the conviction that modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can be instrumental in dissolving barriers between nations and bridging the social and political differences among people. This vision was reflected in SchoolsOnline, a nonprofit he co-founded in 1996 to connect the world, one school at a time (6400 schools in 36 countries were provided with computers and access to the Internet) and merged with Relief International in 2003; Global Catalyst Foundation, co-founded in 2000 to improve lives through effective education and empowerment of the youth (with special emphasis on young women) using the leverage of ICT, and UN-GAID, a United Nations global forum that promotes ICT in developing countries where he served as Co-Chairman (2009-2011).
