About Craig Matthews

I am a high-energy entrepreneur, networker, and keynote speaker, who excels at building meaningful and inclusive relationships and scaling sophisticated tech-driven companies. I am a strategic thinker who inspires individuals to achieve their best.

With over 15 years of entrepreneurial experience, I have founded and led several tech start-ups, managed cross-functional teams, built global channels, driven revenues, and managed investor relations. I am also a Senior Innovation Consultant at Science Park Graz, where I consult, mentor, and support high-tech start-ups in various domains. I have evaluated over 5500 startups to rapidly assess the technological feasibility and market potential of those startups, with the goal to identify and back winning startups. I am passionate about high-tech innovation, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and communication, and have several certificates in Ethics of AI, and Negotiation from LSE. I have also completed the Digital Marketing Disruptive Strategies Programme provided by Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. I am a regular guest lecturer at both the Medical University of Graz and the Technical University of Graz, and a workshop contributor at scientific conferences, such as EPNOE 2023. I also support sustainable initiatives and am guest speaker and presenter at events across Romania, on the topics of sustainability, innovation, and startup storytelling. I am highly motivated, goal-oriented, and adaptable, and have strong organisational, presentational, and communication skills. I have designed and executed successful market entry and sales strategies and have delivered sophisticated digital products and services to different countries and sectors.
