As a child I used to make my parents angry by completely disassembling household electronic devices on a regular basis to discover how they worked. Although I usually do not tear things to shreds nowadays, the spirit to discover has not left me ever since. In fact it even led me to pursue a PhD in (bio) physics and, subsequently, business consulting and business development for the sake of scientific knowledge translation to address societal challenges. With Technolisk venture I embark on a mission to inspire innovators and maximise the impact of their technologies.
