The Time is Now
Moien 👋🏼
Did someone say roadtrip??
No red plane's this time, instead, I put my trust in the driving skills of my partnerships sidekick Freek Huisman who picked me up in his new super cool red car 🏎
The journey had a lot of laughs because Freek's jokes are as pathetic as mine 🤣
We ventured off from our hometown of Amsterdam across three borders to a country and city:
that has the 2nd highest GDP in the world 💸
where public transport is free 🆓
that has a population of 525,00 and immigrants make up 43% of their population ✅
whose name originated from the Lucilinburhuc (“little fortress”) castle bought by Siegfried, count of Ardennes, in 963 C.E., which marked it's foundation 🏰
Did you guess it? It’s Luxembourg 🇱🇺
The occasion?
We had the honour of being invited to raise the red Surfly flag at Vodafone's annual supplier event Arch Summit 2022 ☎️
Right off the back of our wins at TM Forum's DTW and Huawei's Global scaleup competition 🏆
The foundations are set to start building out another exciting vertical in Telco 🚀
Who better to help us on our mission to build a world where online interactions have endless possibilities, than this red giant 🌍
If you didn't get the memo, red is the new black 😉
Our booth 8D52 was conveniently placed right next to our partners Accenture and Huawei and the Main Stage and we ended up having over 30 interesting meetings over 2 days 💪🏼
We were invited by the great guys at Tomorrow Street and they really did put on an incredible show, just look at this intro:
Founded in 2017, Tomorrow Street is a joint venture between the Vodafone Procurement Company and Technoport (Luxembourg government technology incubator) 🤝
The global Innovation Centre hosts and supports the next generation of strategic suppliers to Vodafone, and is a technology hub that attracts entrepreneurs and talent to the fast-growing tech sector in Luxembourg 👨🏻💻
MASSIVE THANK YOU TO TOMORROW STREET AND ALL OF THE WONDERFUL SOULS THAT WE MET 🙏🏼
