The 2024 Dublin Tech Summit is taking place today in the RDS and on the first day of the conference I caught up with Nicolas Sauvage, President of TDK Ventures and one of the Dublin Tech Summit speakers. Nicolas spoke to me about his background, what TDK ventures does, what they invest in and more.

One of the companies TDK Ventures has invested in is AutoFlight who have developed an Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL). AutoFlight are aiming to be one of the worlds first air taxis and you can see it in action below.

More about Nicolas Sauvage:

Nicolas Sauvage is the President of TDK Ventures. Nicolas Sauvage is committed to invest and serve entrepreneurs – the ultimate Impact Scalers – to build innovative and meaningful solutions in Digital, Energy & Environmental Transformations that will bring positive impact to society and the planet. 

Nicolas believes in the value of focusing on what really matters in one’s life and removing the noise around us as much as possible; he created the concept of the “8 words” to capture in just 8 words what matters the most to someone, and prioritise their life’s choices and activities, every day. His 8 words starts with his wife: “Sheila first. Scaling Impact Scalers. Patience and Impatience.” and are engraved on his iPad. 

Nicolas is an alumnus of the Stanford GSB, INSEAD, London Business School, and microelectronics ISEN school.
