2023 Tech Freedom Summit Highlight: Dana Linnet, President & CEO of The Summit Group DC, spoke about the importance of a trusted, security-centric culture throughout tech companies, large and small. “The government needs to know that our tech startups, not just the Lockheed Martins, but these these tiny, innovative tech startups are trusted tech suppliers” Dana highlighted a concerning gap that many tech firms, their boards and investors, are not fully attuned to the security risks and geopolitical realities affecting the the tech industry today. It's a call to action to prioritize operational security from the very beginning. Imagine a world where from day one, these bright minded innovators are emphasizing Trusted Tech practices, hiring from trusted sources, conducting proper risk analyses and offering training and onboarding so that they're “building the cultures of operational security from the ground up.” Dana Linnet’s speech was a great reminder, not only about Silicon Valley’s significant investment in China, but for operations, for all of us in the tech world, to embrace a culture of Trusted Technology and Trust Principles. Let's not just be creators; let's be responsible innovators. Follow the full 2023 Tech Freedom Summit Recap here: https://lnkd.in/dUVU-d-D

Check out the highlights from Atomico's State of European Tech 2023 report, neatly distilled by Sifted! 🌶 So rare to get such a far-reaching and in-depth overview of a complex, fragmented market. Some key insights: - $45bn will have been invested in European startups in 2023 - down from $82bn in 2022, and $100bn in 2021. - Zooming out, this is still a very healthy amount and $7bn higher than in 2020, but the question is now one of direction - has the downslope ended or will 2024 continue the decline? - There are more new first-time founders in Europe than the US (We'd personally like to see more repeat founders as a great measure of success for the entire European ecosystem). - Europe is poaching more US talent than it loses. - 80% of Founders and exec leaders say fundraising is harder this year than last. - Diversity is still 💩. - AI is everything, everywhere, all at once.
