Keynote

Valto Loikkanen (Founder & CEO of Grow VC – a Global Fintech Group. – Building Digital Ecosystems, Platforms & “My Data” Business Models) – Only things that can be understood can be developed. Only things that can be measured can be improved

Global downturn accelerated the focus on innovation, entrepreneurship and startup support services, but what is the ROI and how do you measure it? Data is the new oil and breaking silos is the mantra, but what does it mean in practice, in ecosystem context? Are economic development initiatives really embracing smart & digital approaches? We explore the learnings and solutions on these challenges. Solutions that are in line with EU digital single market and GDPR targets and beyond. Solutions that will radically improve transparency, efficiency, and measurability of the innovation funnel, to drive economic growth.”
