Dear reader, This issue of Startup Business Review focuses heavily on Europe, with new strategies for innovation and European start-ups making acquisitions, investments and going public. We also write about AI and the risk of cognitive crutches, recent investments, which are quite numerous and some of which are quite substantial, and news about start-ups and scale-ups that are growing with their products and services. We write about ecosystem trends, accessibility, bioethanol, fintech, cybersecurity, and even short films and nurseries. We talk about a report from the main fintech event in Asia that we attended. Enjoy your reading, and may the force be with you. |
