Mitigating Biotech-Startup Cyberattacks

Biological and medical information is more valuable than other types of data; health information on the black market is worth 300x that of credit card details. Big Data and Machine Learning have accelerated early-stage/emerging life-science organizations’ capabilities of obtaining investor attention – while also making that sector one of the most targeted for cyber criminals. Biotech startups rely on health information collected from research collaborators, internet-connected medical devices, research laboratories and other provider sources to advance their initiatives. Threat actors continue to expose vulnerabilities, successfully hijacking data sources and other repositories – threatening exposure.

ECA Elevate and Connect: Transforming the European Tech Ecosystem

Dive into the heart of innovation with "Elevate and Connect: Transforming the European Tech Ecosystem," a distinguished networking session designed to weave together the most brilliant minds across Europe's tech panorama. Picture an evening suffused with the spirit of innovation, where every exchange could seed the next technological breakthrough. This event transcends the conventional networking gathering; it's a crucible for ideas poised to elevate the European tech scene.

We are delighted to present our keynote speaker, Olivier Coste, a luminary at the intersection of entrepreneurship and technological ingenuity. Olivier's career has spanned influential roles, from shaping policies at the European Commission to strategic transformations at the office of the French Prime Minister, notably contributing to Airbus's evolution into an integrated powerhouse. His tenure at Alcatel-Lucent was marked by leadership in various ventures and the inception of an innovative mobile television enterprise. Olivier's entrepreneurial flair was further demonstrated through the founding of a pioneering video chat startup for e-commerce, securing partnerships with industry titans such as Microsoft, IBM, and SoftBank.

Since relocating to New York in 2014, Olivier has continued to influence the tech dialogue with insightful commentary. His recent works, "Europe, Tech and War" (recipient of the Strasser Prize from France's Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques in 2023) and "Tech: quand l'Europe s'éveillera" published in Commentaire (December 2023), offer a compelling vision of Europe's ascendancy in the global tech sphere.

Following the insights from Olivier's keynote, the session will transition to a dynamic speed networking segment. This segment promises a series of one-on-one interactions with fellow visionaries, each potentially the catalyst for future collaborations, mentorships, or investments. These conversations are crafted to spark partnerships, catalyze innovation, and inspire bold visions for the future.

Seize this unique chance to contribute to the narrative shaping the future of European technology. "Elevate and Connect" is not merely an event; it's a movement towards a brighter, innovation-driven future for Europe. Join us and be part of a community committed to redefining the technological landscape.
