✨ROUND TABLE✨
#Entrepreneurship is at the heart of the Pangaea X program.
As a result, a roundtable discussion was organized with inspiring entrepreneurs from different stages of business development.
We welcomed Lucie Basch, founder of @toogoodtogo.fr , a platform that connects consumers with restaurants and stores with additional leftover food at the end of the day. ♻️
The second special guest was Cedric Meston, the co-founder of @happyvore , a French-based company offering 100% plant-based meats that has recently taken off! 🍔
We also welcomed Edwige Michau et Geoffroy D’Autichamp, founders of @barooders_com , a second-hand platform for outdoor sports equipment and clothing. 🏋️
@mikehornexplorer was also present during this roundtable. Mike Horn was able to share his experience through his latest entrepreneurial venture, @inoceldev , a company producing hydrogen fuel cells that promote the energy transition and the decarbonization of the planet. 🌊
Through a discussion on entrepreneurship, each was able to provide advice and a challenge that each has gone through. Becoming an entrepreneur is not easy every day. It is a real adventure where risks are taken and decisive choices must be made on a daily basis, but it is totally an adventure to be lived!

A week ago, we welcomed our 5 finalist teams at @joinstationf in Paris.
The biggest incubator for startups in the world, Station F was the ideal location for our teams to pitch their projects in front of the @pangaea.x jury.
6 months ago, 150 projects were submitted, 10 were selected to integrate the program, then 5 went onto the second phase and last week, one final winner was announced!
It’s been a challenging journey for our selected teams. They started with a simple idea and today we have concrete projects aspiring to contribute to preserving our oceans 🌊
We are so proud of the progress that have made and the resilience and determination they have shown and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
This might be the end of our first edition, but it’s the beginning of life changing projects for a better future!

“Collaboration is the new competition!” @mikehornexplorer sharing survival tips applicable to the success of entrepreneurial projects. Build bridges not walls 🤝
Nous sommes si fiers de nos 5 équipes qui hier, après une rude session de pitch devant un jury qui les ont interrogés et challengés, ont dû pitcher leur projet sur scène devant le grand public!
Ils nous ont absolument époustouflé 🤯
L’équipe @pangaea.x ne pourrait pas être plus fière de leur progrès en prise de parole et développement de leur projet depuis le de l’aventure. 🥹
Vous êtes des oufs 🔥

The workshop held in July did put our teams to the test. Creating their business plan and being challenged by different experts weren’t easy. But, Pangaea X is also about having fun and knowing when to take a break ! 🤣
Our teams had to find their way across Lausanne, with many challenges along the way.

🗣: “Lors de ce workshop n°2, j'ai appris à me projeter plus loin dans notre projet, au delà de l'aventure @pangaea.x.
Nous avons également eu de nouveaux points de vue concernant le projet de la part d'experts qui nous permet d'affiner un peu plus nos idées.
En tant que jeunes entrepreneurs en devenir, ce workshop nous a énormément appris sur les aspects juridiques, l'entrepreuneriat ou encore les stratégies de financement.
Finalement à l’issue de ce workshop je me sens incarner un peu plus @enereef.project, et motivé à développer ce magnifique projet.”

Who hasn’t heard of Columbia?!
@columbia_eu is an international sportswear brand that creates innovative outdoor gear for a wide variety of sports.
As you may know, @mikehornexplorer is an ambassador of Columbia. Through this partnership, our relationship grew stronger and our partnership for Pangaea X was born.
« We started partnering with Mike a year ago. It was naturally a great opportunity to partner with a project like Pangaea X that is in the action and very much in line with our values. Our employees were actually triggered because they also decided to launch an internal operation, a call for internal impactful projects. »
A great thank you to Columbia for believing in Pangaea X from day 1.
@bionet_pangaeax is one of the 5 finalists !
Jonathan, Victor and William are three engineers based in Lyon. Their solution is a biodegradable net that aims to reduce ghost fishing.
During the second workshop, they were challenged by experts in different domains such as sustainability or even innovation.
Only one month left until Bionet will present their solution in front of the jury at Station F, Paris.
Would you invest in this innovative project ?
