I am Greg Beckman Lapré, a motivated young professional with a strong interest in innovation, outreach, and business development. I completed my exchange at Blautic Designs S.L. in Valencia, a technology company that develops smart solutions using sensors, AI, and wireless communication for sports, health, and industry. During my exchange, I worked on lead generation, outreach, content creation, and project support. My business interest is in connecting innovative technology with the right markets and partners. I discovered the EYE programme through my interest in entrepreneurship and international business. I joined because I wanted to learn from experienced entrepreneurs, grow my network, and gain practical insight into turning ideas into real business opportunities.
During my EYE stay at Blautic Designs S.L., I worked on lead generation, outreach, content creation, and project support. I built databases of potential clients and partners for Blautic, Wellit, and the Inshape project, using tools such as Lusha to identify relevant contacts. I supported outreach by drafting emails, preparing campaigns, and helping improve communication materials, including videos, presentations, and website content. I was also involved in meetings with partners and clients, including Synerplier and MyScoreLive, and observed how outreach could develop into real collaborations and pilot projects. My relationship with my Host was very positive and professional. I was trusted from the start, taken seriously as part of the team, and given real responsibilities that had a direct impact on the company and its projects.
During my EYE stay, I developed strong skills in lead generation, outreach, content creation, and professional communication. I learned how to identify the right contacts, tailor messages to different sectors, and turn first contact into meetings and follow-up opportunities. I also improved my ability to work in an international environment and gained practical experience in business development within an innovative technology company. A major benefit was the network I built through my Host, including contacts such as Synerplier and MyScoreLive, which showed me how valuable professional relationships can be for future cooperation. I also contributed ideas on using AI tools to improve daily workflows, which gave me confidence in my ability to add real value to a company. Overall, the exchange strengthened both my professional skills and my entrepreneurial mindset.
The EYE exchange showed me that when you work hard, stay professional, and build the right relationships, ideas can turn into real opportunities, projects, and personal growth.
