Leo Thevenet

I am Leo Thevenet, a software engineer turned tech journalist with a specific mission: bridging the gap between global innovation hubs. My journey started with a Bachelor's in Software Engineering in France, but it was my Master's degree in IT from Tsinghua University (Beijing) that defined my career. Living and studying at the heart of China's tech explosion gave me an insider's perspective on how scalability and rapid iteration shape tomorrow's startups. At Startup World Tech, I don't just aggregate news. I use my technical background to deconstruct complex innovations. I am constantly on the move, reporting directly from the floor of CES, Web Summit, and Slush, ensuring that the stories I share are based on real interactions with founders, not just press releases. My Exclusive Focus: Through a strategic partnership with the South Korean government, I provide exclusive, on-the-ground coverage of the Korean startup ecosystem, offering insights that are often inaccessible to Western media.
