In this episode of the Innovantage Podcast, host Max Golikov sits down with Remco Janssen — founder of Silicon Canals, one of Europe’s leading tech media outlets, and a tireless advocate for European innovation, startups, and smart tech policy. Together, they unpack how Europe can tell its own story — and why now is a critical moment for startups to get strategic about media, policy, and AI.
Discover how to:
➡️ Avoid the most common PR mistakes startups make — and tell stories that actually get coverage
➡️ Think beyond the funding announcement and build long-term visibility in European media
➡️ Understand how regulation shapes trust — and why it doesn’t have to kill innovation
➡️ Navigate the role of AI in Europe’s economic future — from productivity to policymaking
➡️ Explore what trustworthy AI really means — and where Europe can lead globally
About the guest:
Remco brings a no-nonsense, clear-eyed view of where Europe stands today — and what it’ll take to build a more confident, competitive, and collaborative tech ecosystem across the continent. If you're building in Europe, scaling a startup, or just curious about how PR, policy, and AI intersect — this episode is packed with practical insights and bold perspectives.
