SUMMARY:Ecosistema de Innovación en salud / Ecosystem Innovation in Healthcare

SUMMARY:Why Austin is overtaking Silicon Valley for international startups — and how to prepare for the USA ecosystem before you even arrive
DESCRIPTION:On April 1st\, 2026\, at Progetto Manifattura in Rovereto\, Kevin Koym will join Federico Stefani and Francesca Gottardi for a conversation about a shift many global founders are starting to notice: Austin is quickly becoming a powerful gateway for international startups entering the U.S. market.

The session will be followed by networking and an aperitivo to continue the conversation.

SUMMARY:Global Connections Virtual Meetup
DESCRIPTION:What happens when you put the right people in the same room—with intention? \nOn Thursday\, May 28 at 11:00 AM (Austin time)\, we’re bringing together impact innovators\, policymakers\, and ecosystem leaders for a virtual session designed to do one thing well: create meaningful connections\, fast. \nThis isn’t another networking event where conversations stay surface-level. \nIt’s a guided experience\, led by Kevin Koym and Brenda Belmares\, built on proven methods that help people connect with clarity\, intention\, and real outcomes. \nWe’re taking the dynamic we’ve already created in-person—across gatherings in Austin\, Monterrey\, Italy\, and beyond—and translating it into a virtual space that actually works. \nIn a short amount of time\, you’ll meet the right people\, have the right conversations\, and walk away with connections that can move things forward. \nBecause the goal isn’t just to meet people.\nIt’s to build relationships that matter. \n  \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Bodega and Small Business Innovation Summit - Digitizing the Corner Store
DESCRIPTION:There are 15\,000 bodegas in New York City. They move billions in commerce. And almost none of them run on modern infrastructure. \nThat’s not a problem — it’s a massive\, untapped opportunity. \nThe Bodega and Small Business Innovation Summit gathers the sharpest minds in media tech\, AI\, fintech\, and security to unpack a radical thesis: the corner store is the next great platform — if we build the right tools and protect what makes it matter. \nThis isn’t about slapping an iPad on a deli counter. The panel introduces the “Sovereign Bodega” framework — integrated digital systems that let small businesses unlock new revenue streams\, compete with chains\, and scale on their own terms. Modernization without displacement. Tech without erasure. \nHosted by the Bodega and Small Business Association\, Tech Ranch\, Bodegas TV\, and Angeles Investors during #NYTechWeek\, this is where community-rooted commerce meets institutional capital. \nIf you’re allocating toward urban retail\, local commerce infrastructure\, or AI-powered SMB tools — this panel is your deal flow. Grab your spot before it’s gone. \nThis conversation brings together founders\, operators\, and technologists to explore how integrated systems—not isolated tools—can redefine the future of small business in urban communities. \nThis event is hosted by Bodega and Small Business Association\, Tech Ranch. Collaborators also include Bodegas TV and Angeles Investors. \nThis event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. \nRSVP HERE
