BioBee Technologies, S.L “BioBee Technologies has been very pleased to participate in the StartUp ScaleUp 2016 programme. Together we tackled some enterprise concepts, mainly in the fields of customer discovery and market study. Currently, the company has redirected its focus from health to food quality, which has made the improvement of the incomes and number of contacts with clients possible. Finally, we would like to highlight the professional support from the Startup Scaleup community.“
OEEX, Internet of Things “Out first contact with Startup Europe was in the project WELCOME at the Internet of Things World Europe 2016 in Dublin. I was surprised by the high standard and quality of the event and project team. We felt very supported and represented to get the most out of the event. It was great taking part in the project. I highly recommend Startup Europe and its projects and I am more than happy to work with these people in the future again!”
ALMA.care “We were very pleased with the support of the Startup Scaleup programme and the people at Crosspring who have been with us throughout the whole program. It definitely helped us fine-tune a number of aspects for our startup and it resulted in valuable connections outside of the our country borders. We would definitely join the acceleration programme again, it was a very valuable experience!”
Proximove Techonologies PVT Ltd. “Startify7 has ignited entrepreneurial passion inside me. The project has helped me evaluate my idea using different framework and techniques through team building activities and learning programmes. I’ve been able to establish networks with like-minded individuals, professors and mentors which have helped me establish my startup in the early days.”
M’Care Mobile “Startup Europe’s Startify7 was my first exposure to practice-based entrepreneurship learning. I attended the Digital Health Summer Academy in Sheffield UK in 2015. I had an amazing experience with 40 participants from different countries around the world. M’Care, the startup I co-founded, was a winner at the Academy and came 4th place in Belgium later that year. The feedback we got helped redesign our business model, guided our collaboration with regulatory authorities and our pilot design in 2016. We have had follow-up support from i4G incubators, legal guidance from qLegal UK and a pitch before 200 corporate investors at the HealthTech Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland. M’Care was selected as one of the top 40 Digital Health Startups in Europe this 2016. At every step, Startify7 has been very supportive.”
AEGEE, European’s students’ Forum “We are a huge student network with a very heavy agenda but the Startup Europe initiatives got into our regular calendar. Being part of the Startup Europe community has been an amazing opportunity to experience entrepreneurship from a European perspective. Startup Europe provided us with many networking possibilities enriched by valuable information on entrepreneurship.”
Holey “Startup Europe has connected us with startup communities around Europe which have been of great help in our internationalisation activities. A concrete example is our future expansion into the German market, where the contacts provided by Startup Europe gave us access to the startup communities in Berlin and through that also presence at CEBIT 2017. We have also participated in both Web Summit and Slush and made a lot of valuable contacts through Startup Europe. We are really satisfied and our experience has made the difference for us when we now expand to other markets.”
Enrich Each Other “Startup Europe’s CREA summer academy has given us the required tools and a base to kick-start our project. From setting up the team to coaching and giving us an opportunity to pitch in an international event. Our project has constantly undergone various pivots and each time we have gone through the steps we learnt in the summer. Least but not last, the importance of the added credibility Startup Europe, CREA and HKU have provided to our project which deals with the current social issue of refugee integration in Europe. We are in the process of taking our project forward to success.”
Learning to Sleep “Startup Europe has connected us with startup communities around Europe which have been of great help in our internationalisation activities.

We have also participated in both Web Summit and Slush and made a lot of valuable contacts through Startup Europe. We are really satisfied and our experience has made the difference for us when we now expand to other markets.”
FashionBoxie “Simply understanding that while I was mentoring people to “think global” I never fully understood the challenges and unique needs each market brings and needs, until I met people from all over the world in this 2 unique European programs (Startify7, EU-EXCEL). Both projects helped us gain attention from people around the whole of Europe. We also managed to be part of the Startup Europe Awards competition!”
