During our first year, we had the chance and honor to welcome some impressive speakers such as Alisée de Tonnac, co-founder of Seedstars, Bill Aulet, managing director Martin Trust Center MIT entrepreneurship, or Prof. Dr. Friederike Eyssel, professor of psychology and head of the research unit “Applied Social Psychology and Gender Research” at the Center for Cognitive Interaction Technology, Bielefeld University, Germany.
