Let's Touch BASE: Why Innovation Isn't Optional Anymore

SEP17
16:30 · Europe / Amsterdam
  • This event explores the vital role of creativity and innovation in business, especially when AI tools are widely accessible.
  • It targets solopreneurs, startups, and scale-ups seeking to differentiate themselves through innovative thinking.
  • Attendees will learn how to apply innovation strategies to grow and stand out in a competitive landscape.

About this event

AI is part of everyday business now, but that's exactly why creativity and innovation matter more than ever. When everyone has access to the same tools, standing out isn't about using AI; it's about how you think, rethink, and rebuild around it.
For solopreneurs, startups, and scale-ups, that mindset helps you grow and stand out instead of blending into the crowd. Join us for the last Let's Touch BASE event before BASE Conference to explore what innovation really looks like and how to put it to work in your business.
WORKSHOP: Turning AI Into Your Advantage
Here's what's really happening: AI access is no longer the differentiator. Everyone has the same models and tools. What actually separates the companies and professionals pulling ahead is what they choose to build on top, what they refuse to outsource, and how fast they can change their minds.
Alessandro Vozza, a technologist with 20+ years solving complex problems that matter, leads this working session. From research chemist to cloud architect to AI engineer, Alessandro has spent his career at the intersection of innovation and real-world business challenges. Today he partners with enterprises navigating cloud and AI transformations at Microsoft, and he's built a deep understanding of what it takes to scale intelligently.
In this hands-on workshop, Alessandro walks through exactly how to make the right calls about AI in your own business. We'll use a real example from our community, Luca, to show how you can automate to the extreme while keeping control and accelerating growth.
This is practical. Designed for business operators, not engineers. You'll leave with a different way of thinking about operations, where innovation becomes a way of working, not just a buzzword.
