Last week, we hosted a roundtable of GovTech and Innovation experts from Central Eastern Europe, Tomasz Rychter, Jaromir Beranek, Dorin Miclaus, who shared valuable advice and insights with our cohort of 13 innovative startups, including how:

🤝 "Partnering with established vendors or tech companies can be an effective strategy for startups to gain a foothold in the public sector and build trust with central and local governments. "

🚀 "Securing a high-level sponsor within your target organisation can be a game-changer. An internal advocate, eager to challenge the status quo, can help you navigate public sector bureaucracy and turn your proposal into reality"

🔍 "In Eastern Europe, public authorities, especially at the municipal level, often require guidance in identifying and addressing their challenges. Startups can play a crucial role by highlighting these unmet needs and simultaneously presenting innovative solutions."
