How would you encourage people to be entrepreneurs?
I think if you have that drive and that desire, you should try it, don't stay with the desire, because there are tools, the whole startup world, which has been new to me, I'm older now, but I didn't know because I come from a very traditional company. I think there are many opportunities based on accelerators, based on funding or investors, who believe in your project there, and you should try to go there. I would encourage you to try it, at least.
And how would you encourage the use of Ingevital?
I believe that the use of technology to improve the quality of life should be promoted, what technology should do, so that we can take care of ourselves more and more, but without consuming our time, mind or anything. I think that every time we talk about the project, someone who lives alone sees that it gives them a lot of peace to know that at least the nights are going well and that they haven't had any incidents, before they are given a transfer to a place to live.
How do you see the development of technology in the field of health?
I think it is one of the future. Now they're talking about the silver economy, and I think they've hit the nail on the head. We get older and technology is for everyone and also to live better when we are older, and of course for our health.
I think it's something that falls under its own weight. Now it's starting to get excited and people are starting to think, not only about how it's sold to another company, but how we can help take care of people, which in our case also gave us a lot of moral satisfaction. Until now, we were working and doing very well, but now we are doing something that is beneficial to society, which gives you a different kind of reward.
