I lead innovation and investment at 28DIGITAL, where our mission is to power Europe’s leadership in digital and deep tech. My work spans public and private spheres — we spotlight Europe’s most promising startups, founders, and teams through public initiatives, then build the bridge that connects them with private capital and growth opportunities.

At 28DIGITAL, I’m driving the creation of a €100M digital health fund and a technology transfer micro fund focused on deep tech developed across our network of 60 partner universities. I believe in building connective platforms where founders, researchers, corporates, and investors can co-create and deliver real impact together.

A central pillar of our work is talent. Through the EIT Digital Master School, we offer double-degree programs in Autonomous Systems & Intelligent Robots, Cloud & Network Infrastructure and HPC, Cyber Security, Data Science, Embedded Systems, Emotion Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, and Human-Computer Interaction & Design. These programs nurture Europe’s next generation of deep tech entrepreneurs — with around 40% of graduates founding a startup within two years — creating a powerful pipeline of talent that drives innovation from lab to market.

I’m driven by the belief that when great people, capital, and purpose align, Europe can lead the next wave of digital transformation.
