Euresilience

Every day during Covid-19 lockdowns across Europe, a different person shared stories of resilience, solidarity and community here on @Euresilience. With the project now concluded in its current form, do follow all those who participated on this list: twitter.com/i/lists/124280…

Combining micro-mobility and ecological concerns is possible! @VoiTechnology and @BlaBlaCar_FR have joined forces to connect shared mobility and collaborative economy. That's how 'BlaBla Ride' was born last week! #Euresilience linkedin.com/posts/frederic…

Further on the #Tech4Values topic: purpose-driven tech is how Europe attracts top talent from abroad. The combination of our values and the relentless commitment to solve environmental and societal issues makes Europe unique and attractive! #Euresilience tech.eu/features/30779…

In order to "Shape a meaningful world" together @FrDigitale has launched this year the #Tech4Values program that orchestrates and shows the dynamism of EU tech companies that attract top tech talent worldwide #Euresilience youtu.be/9Sw15bRVAUw

Why not create a European Visa Startup allowing a non-European worker in the digital sector to work in different countries ... with the same visa ? 🇪🇺 That's one of our proposals with @FrDigitale of a #UnitedTechofEurope 👉 francedigitale.org/wp-content/upl… #Euresilience

Europe must retain & attract tech talent: what if students from EU top 100 engineering & business schools had opportunity to meet recruiters from Europe’s top 100 scale-ups? Annual Scale-up Fair organized by @FrDigitale is aiming for that 👇#DigitalEU francedigitale.org/combat/talents/

Another conviction we share with @FrDigitale is that we need to strengthen the role of the European Investment Fund and the European Investment Bank as a financial partner of start-ups and VCs 🇪🇺 #Euresilience docs.google.com/document/d/1DZ…

#BlaBlaHelp witnessed an impressive fast launch. Try to find helpers where you are, you'll be surprised. #Euresilience linkedin.com/posts/frederic…

2.6 billion people were under confinement... It gives us a sense of global humanity and solidarity. And during the confinement period we decided @BlaBlaCar to launch #BlaBlaHelp, an app for neighborhood help and support 1/2 linkedin.com/posts/frederic…

At @FrDigitale we believe that Europe needs to take an ambitious vision of the #InvestEU programme to €100 billion and push for a comprehensive European recovery plan, with funding conditional on commitments to digital transition. 🇪🇺 #Euresilience sifted.eu/articles/start…

Hello ! I'm Fred Mazzella founder of @Blablacar and co-president of @FrDigitale the largest startups organization in Europe. I usually tweet from @mazaic but today I'll be posting here for the last day of this beautiful #Euresilience program!

Thank you @SamirAbdelkrim for sharing your stories on @Euresilience

Every day since lockdowns began across Europe in March, a different person has shared their stories of solidarity & community here on @Euresilience. Today - the final day of the project - it’s Fred Mazzella @mazaic. Founder & president of @BlaBlaCar & co-president of @FRdigitale

This crisis will have made us aware of how fragile our societies are, as is Europe. To remain resilient, we must - more than ever - remain united in diversity, and united in the face of adversity! Thanks to all of you! Samir #Euresilience

I took this first picture of an empty city during lockdown, in front of the famous statue of David in Marseille. Today, it is good to see life taking its course back in our streets all over Europe! But we also have to live differently... 1/2

Just like Togo with its disruptive #Novissi initiative, using direct cash transfer technologies to support the informal sector. Even the French Nobel Prize Esther Duflo welcomed the initiative!

In 🇫🇷 or elsewhere, we often hear about the introduction of universal basic income. Some African govts just did it to support the most fragile communities during the COVID-19 lockdown. Creating their own Universal Guaranteed Income for All programmes. 1/2

Did you know that the cashless society is becoming a reality south of the Mediterranean? From Tunisia to Kenya & Senegal, Fintech startups are developing the latest social distancing tool to fight the pandemic & limit the virus spread. True inspiration for the rest of the world!

African ecosystems showed not only resilience but also a shared destiny between Africa & Europe through innovation. Thanks to the Makers, 3D printing innovators and opendata! Read my piece for @FriendsofEurope for more inspiration here ==> friendsofeurope.org/insights/from-…

Civil society from Africa moved to respond to the pandemic in innovative ways: Universities, FabLab, Tech Hubs all joined the war against COVID-19. Civic tech innovations such as 🇰🇪’s Ushaidi - first used in Nairobi - were used by local communities in 🇮🇹 & 🇪🇸 to flatten the curve
