With less than a month to go until the kick-off event in France of this year’s ‘Invest an Connect’ exclusive startup award series, we talked to the french representative of ESAC, Jean Du Boisdulier, about the current investment sentiment, some key trends and industry insights related to smart mobility.

How will the VC landscape develop over the coming months and years? Startups have to deal with increased difficulty in fundraising, valuations drop and “cherry picking” became a strategy. It´s not all bad news, though. Times of great challenge are also times of great opportunity.

Due to the recent developments in the global Coronavirus outbreak we have decided – together with our partners in the respective countries -, to RESCHEDULE the first two events of our exclusive startup awards series to Autumn.
