The Value Creation Wheel Shines at Web Summit! Portuguese Minister of Economy & Mayor of Lisbon Join the Conversation! 🌟

What an incredible experience for the VCW - Value Creation Wheel at Web Summit! We showcased the impact of the VCW Method for Innovation, Decision-Making, and Problem-Solving to leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and innovators from around the world. 💬

We kicked off with an inspiring discussion led by the Minister of Economy, Pedro Reis, on how the VCW supports strategic decision-making and growth in the Space Business through the NextOcean and NextLand projects, funded by the European Commission with over €7 million. These initiatives are supported by the VCW Lab at Nova School of Business and Economics, bringing years of expertise to tackle complex European challenges. 🤝

Omid Asgari, a dedicated VCW partner for more than 8 years, also had a dynamic conversation with Lisbon's Mayor Carlos Moedas, exploring the VCW book and discussing the Brainbox platform. 🌍✨

A special highlight was meeting the Young Changemakers! Connecting with the Startup Portugal volunteers was energizing, as these future leaders were enthusiastic about how the VCW can help solve their entrepreneurial challenges. 🌟
