He regaled us with captivating stories from City Hall, shedding light on the intricacies of urban governance and the importance of building strong urban alliances. His advice on how to effectively collaborate with city officials and leverage urban resources was particularly enlightening.

    What an amazing day for the QBE #AcceliCITY Resilience Challenge! Today's AcceliCITY curriculum featured Thomas Mueller, co-founder of bee smart city GmbH! Tom delivered an enlightening lecture on "Inside Influence: Securing Your City Champion." He shared invaluable insights on how startups can better find, connect with, and collaborate with city officials. From understanding city needs to building lasting relationships, Tom's expertise provided our cohort with actionable strategies to make a significant impact. Believe it or not, Tom was in the same shoes as our startups just 8 years ago and has since made tremendous strides in the smart city sector. A huge thank you to Tom for his wisdom and inspiration. We're grateful for his wisdom and look forward to seeing our startups thrive! 🚀🌆
