As 2020 comes to a close, however tempting it is to not look back and charge forcefully into 2021, at EU-Startups we’re pausing to find some positive moments. Here we’ve collected together the 10 most-read interviews that we ran this year, which beyond being good reads, show the ingenuity, innovative nature and forward-looking attitudes of European entrepreneurs.
It’s no surprise that this list covers themes that are strongly related to the big trends of 2020, including: remote working, the future of coworking, blockchain, sextech, foodtech and sustainable food production, traveltech and virtual tourism. We hope that you enjoy (re)-reading these pieces, and that they spark some inspiration for your 2021 strategy.
