STARTUP EUROPE
Created in 2011, Startup Europe has the mission to support the digital single market by building a healthy ecosystem that allows startups across the EU to scale their businesses. Through its projects, this European Commission initiative directly supports around 60 local ecosystems, encourages startup creation and growth, and connects startups, investors, accelerators and universities. Startup Europe has also mobilised tech entrepreneurs and helps make their voices heard in EU policymaking, raising political awareness of the crucial role entrepreneurs play in creating growth.
STARTUP EUROPE SUMMIT
The Startup Europe Summit (SES) is a technology conference that brings together entrepreneurs,
investors, academics, policymakers and major corporate players from Europe and beyond. It showcases the latest trends in entrepreneurship, innovation and ecosystems and new EU-funded initiatives designed to boost Europe’s tech and web startups. The first SES was held in Berlin in 2015.
4 editions organised | 1200 participants | 15 startups pitching | 20 side events
ENTREPRENEURIAL POLICYMAKING
