Highlights from the Tech Stars Conference

[Music]

Matt Gehl: We’ve got over 125 companies. We’ve got over 500 investors. And I think that really shows that people are excited about tech. 

Jamie Dimon: Tech changes the world. I mean, look at these things that take place and so the valuations go up or down .The tech industry is going to be there for the rest of your lives.

Aloke Gupte: This is a uniquely exciting conference and really focuses on all the thought-provoking questions and topics in front of us in tech. What is the future of AI, for example? What is it going to mean for all of us in our digital identities going forward? So it’s those kind of thoughtful questions that we may not always have the time to sit back and have a conversation of.That’s what we're trying to do at this conference, and that’s what excites me most.

Cathie Wood: You know what’s great about this day? It’s for young companies in Europe, especially in the UK. We’re seeing so much innovation. And I think one of the reasons for this is, the cost associated with innovation is collapsing. And a large part of that is artificial intelligence.

And so the access to these technologies is here now.

Mose Adigun: It’s amazing to see that we have such a thriving community outside of the US. I think it’s a lot of focus in Silicon Valley, but actually there’s a lot of wonderful, really innovative companies here and a lot of capital is looking to invest in these companies.

Franziska Kayser: It’s more about the people. I think you have really done a nice job having a super exciting set of founders, entrepreneurs and coordinators.

Vishal Marria: So there’s a significant value in these type of sessions. And it’s a credit on J.P. Morgan for hosting such an amazing event. It’s a one-stop shop where we’re meeting a whole range of the diverse ecosystem that we work in.

Pieter Himpe: I think we’re trying to create an ecosystem of companies meeting investors and really try to get them together in the same room. And I think the value of that really comes across. A lot of founders have met their existing investors, but also meeting new investors and a lot of investors like meeting new companies. I think having something like that in Europe to really have this thriving tech ecosystem is quite important.
