How can we deal with this COVID-19 impasse and what are the solutions that we can provide as entrepreneurs, tech professionals or action people in general?<\/p>\n

At our first\u00a0Digital Roundtable<\/strong>, we gathered three international founders to discuss these current concerns that have taken space in most of our minds and to get into the depth of how this period affects us in order to portray some of the best scenarios and solutions.<\/p>\n

Our guest speakers were Newton Howard \u2014 Chairman of\u00a0Ni2o<\/a>, Jerry Kennelly \u2014 Founder of\u00a0Riverbed<\/a>\u00a0and Frank Meehan \u2014 Co-Founder of\u00a0Equilibrium<\/a>, moderated by our well-known host \u2014 Philipp Kandal.<\/p>\n

You can watch the full video on\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Youtube<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, but we\u2019ve also taken some notes, highlighting the best takeaways from this discussion:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What has driven our guest speakers to take action in finding solutions for this crisis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jerry Kennelly has started a new company that helps to track the COVID-19 evolution, alongside a team of developers from Budapest. He tends to see the bigger picture in all his entrepreneurial endeavours and acknowledges that this is the time to help communities and to help each other, stating that this is a driving factor in the way he thinks about life and about the world.<\/p>\n

What are the actual solutions that are work in progress at the moment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Besides Jerry\u2019s great idea, Newton Howard and his team are also working on a device that can ease the process of testing and can be used as a speed-test at home.<\/p>\n

Discover how it looks like and how it works in the video below \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n
