Maxim shares his journey from early-stage VC investing in deep tech to his broader focus on growth-stage ventures and systemic collaboration. He emphasizes the crucial role governments can play as early adopters and enablers of innovation, pointing to companies like Palantir as examples of successful public-private partnerships. Matias advocates for startups to consider governments not just as regulators or clients, but as collaborators in building impactful solutions.
The discussion highlights the importance of government-led R&D investments and how one public dollar can unlock exponential private capital. From digital identity to citizen engagement platforms, the future of technology lies in creating inclusive, scalable tools that governments can use to better serve their citizens. Dubai and the UAE are held up as key examples of how long-term strategic vision and open collaboration can attract and retain talent while fostering cutting-edge ecosystems.
Maxim also predicts a shift toward a platform-based economy, where solutions are orchestrated across sectors through interoperable, data-driven ecosystems. Emerging technologies like generative AI, including tools like ChatGPT, are already beginning to shape how governments can optimize services and engage with citizens more effectively. He encourages governments to think of themselves as platforms, with citizens as users, focusing on experience and engagement.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, policymaker, or tech enthusiast, this interview offers rich insights into the evolving relationship between innovation and governance.
