The number of start-ups in Germany is declining, and the hoped-for upturn after the Corona pandemic has failed to materialize. Fewer young people and fewer women are starting businesses. The good news is: The number of new green and social start-ups remains stable. And the share of sustainable ventures in Germany's overall startup scene is growing. What can we do to revive the start-up scene in Germany and support young, sustainable, and female founders? Today, I discussed these and other questions with German television ZDF. #entrepreneurship #socialentrepreneurship #greenstartups #femalefounders

Last Tuesday, at the 21st edition of Founder Talks, which centered on Life Sciences, we had the pleasure of hosting two distinguished entrepreneurs: Rutger Flink from PulmoTech BV and serial entrepreneur Gunnar Flik from Ardena. Gunnar's open and honest discussion about his entrepreneurial journey, including both his triumphs and setbacks, provided valuable insights. The sale of his Dutch research centre Brains On-Line to Charles River Laboratories International in 2017 marked a significant milestone, illustrating the worldwide influence of the company. Gunnar also played an important role in the founding of the LIFE Cooperative in 2014, established by SME entrepreneurs who realised the power of achieving more together than alone. His experiences underscore the idea that learning from failure is as important as celebrating success in business. Rutger Flink shared his own entrepreneurial journey and the launch of PulmoTech. His company is developing a specialised catheter to better regulate ventilation for patients in intensive care. His personal story, outlining the challenges and motivation behind starting a company in this market, was very compelling. Want to know more about PulmoTech? ➡ https://lnkd.in/enzWY4ai Before the Founder Talks event began, an investor dinner was held, creating an ideal setting for networking among entrepreneurs and investors.

“Endeavor is born out of the idea that entrepreneurial ecosystems must exist outside of Silicon Valley” 26 years ago, Endeavor Co-Founders Linda Rottenberg and Peter Kellner started Endeavor with a simple idea: that high-impact entrepreneurs are the key levers to sustainable economic growth. Conceived from a “business plan” sketched onto the back of a napkin, Endeavor has grown over the past two decades to become not only a shared vision but a global network cultivated passionately by board members, entrepreneurs, mentors, and staff. Linda and her co-founders realized that for decades, startup conversations mostly came out of Silicon Valley, making entrepreneurship seem like an American-only fairytale. Endeavor emerged to rewrite this narrative, eliminating obstacles and fostering thriving entrepreneurial communities in underserved markets. Since then, Endeavor Global has worked to catalyze the growth of emerging and underserved innovation ecosystems by inspiring 2 500+ high-growth founders to dream bigger, investing in them to scale faster, and providing a platform for them to pay it forward. #highimpact #entrepreneurship #multipliereffect
