Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow: Why INAUTALENT Is Engaging from the First Meet & Greet of 2026

At INAUTALENT, we are deeply convinced of one thing:
the challenges facing the tech industry are no longer purely technological. They are human, cultural, and structural.

Shaping the leaders of tomorrow is no longer about replicating past models, but about changing the rules of the game—from support and training to access to opportunities.

It is with this mindset that we are co-organizing, alongside Women in Tech® France, 42 Paris, SheEOs, and Startup&Angels, the first Meet & Greet of 2026—an event designed as a starting point to open the year with ambition and impact.

Changing the rules of the game starts with education

Every day, INAUTALENT works alongside companies, scale-ups, and entrepreneurs facing the same challenges:

  • attracting and retaining talent,

  • enabling the emergence of new leadership profiles,

  • building teams capable of performing in complex, international environments.

We see firsthand that traditional leadership and training models are reaching their limits, particularly when they perpetuate bias or exclude part of the talent pool.

This Meet & Greet is an opportunity to address a fundamental question:
👉 How can we develop leaders who create value while building more equitable and sustainable organizations?

A panel discussion at the heart of our convictions

This reflection will come to life during a panel discussion titled:

🎤 “Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow: Changing the Rules of Tech Entrepreneurship”

With:

  • Manel Chikh,

  • Léo Denes, President of INAUTALENT & Founder of Startup&Angels,

  • Souhir M’RABET,

  • Moderated by Adia Danso.

The discussion will explore the role of education, mentoring, and active sponsorship in transforming entrepreneurial and leadership pathways.

An event aligned with INAUTALENT’s mission

Co-organizing this Meet & Greet is not a one-off initiative.
It is part of INAUTALENT’s ongoing commitment to:

  • building more balanced leadership teams,

  • developing and supporting underrepresented talent,

  • and creating bridges between innovation, leadership, and impact.

This first Meet & Greet of 2026 will also mark:

  • the second anniversary of Women in Tech® France,

  • the launch of the second edition of the mentoring program, to which we are proud to contribute.

Why we believe in initiatives like this

Because change does not come from words alone, but from the spaces we create to debate, share, and shape new models.

Because educating also means deconstructing, challenging assumptions, and expanding what is possible.

And because the rules of the game only evolve collectively.
