We are very serious about building a true startup community and supporting entrepreneurs in our region. We would also like to promote the Global Call as much as we can – not only virtually but also giving an opportunity to potential applicants to meet us in person. Consequently we have teamed up with great regional community builders and entrepreneurs, 3beards and Albion Drive to share insight, experience and know-how to help startup communities in 8 CEE/SEE cities.
We are going to visit Gdansk, Athens, Ljubljana and Zagreb this week. See below for more on each event. Should our hectic schedule over the next 2 weeks permit, we will do our best to cover our experience from all the locations so stay tuned!
