Welcome to the new episode of the TNW Podcast — the show where we discuss the latest developments in the European technology ecosystem and feature interviews with some of the most interesting people in the industry.
In today’s special episode, we’re featuring an interview with Ilkka Paananen, co-founder and CEO of Supercell, recorded with live audience at the Italian Tech Week conference in Turin last week.
Andrii and Ilkka discussed the history of the gamedev industry, the mistakes entrepreneurs make at the start of their journey, the unique culture and structure of Supercell, the changes AI is bringing to the ecosystem, and much more. And of course we’d got a bunch of great questions from the audience.
