Startup Europe Press Release: The Official Launch of the One Stop Shop in Brussels!
Last week we officially launched the One Stop Shop (this very website!) in Brussels, the heart of Europe.
The One Stop Shop has been growing with speed over the last few months and it was time to officially launch into the world with a special event.
At an event held by Digital Europe, we presented the One Stop Shop, and explained how to use it with an interactive presentation.
This event followed the DIPP (Digital in Practice) format by Digital Europe, which is a type of event that delves into digital best practice and cutting-edge technology. We presented the Startup Europe One Stop Shop as a unique way to bring together and connect all the startup players in Europe. In this way, the One Stop Shop acts as one single access point to bring all of these players together for the first time.
Over the last two months we have seen over 30,000 visitors, hailing from all over Europe and beyond.
