Dear Builder

When we talk about progressing in business, career or life, the elevator is usually out of order. So you are faced with two possible scenarios: A) waiting for it to be repaired, or B) taking the more challenging path – the stairs. 🧐

Option A may seem initially easier and therefore more tempting, but it's actually quite uncertain. We can't predict how long the elevator's repair might take. Most likely, while we're waiting for it, our industrious neighbor next door has already climbed the stairs and reached their desired floor...

This is a situation that many entrepreneurs can surely relate to. Growing a business is a journey that you have to be prepared for, as your sense of perspective, decision making and resilience are often put to the test.

The main question is: are you prepared to take the stairs? If your answer is yes, fantastic! The initial analogy to mobility is not a mere coincidence, as on October 25th we're hosting another event with EIT Urban Mobility.

We invite startups and researchers in the field of urban mobility and smart cities to explore fresh opportunities and synergies with industry leaders – Prio, Via Verde, EDP, Carris, and Infraestruturas de Portugal – and elevate your game! Register now for Mobility Solutions: Matchmaking Day!

We look forward to seeing you there! 🚀 

Wishing you a restful weekend,

The BGI Team
