Startup Europe Week 2018 – ‘European Regions as Key Players’
Startup Europe Week 2018 is an initiative launched in 2016 and promoted by the European Commission and Startup Europe. Regional diversity and local policy-making still play a big role in shaping European startups. From helping entrepreneurs to incorporate a company, to providing grants or taxes breaks, European regions are key players. Taking a local perspective is crucial to supporting entrepreneurs and startups in Europe.
Startup Europe Week has several aims:
- Showcase best initiatives promoted by regions to support entrepreneurs.
- Inform the local ecosystem about what already exists to help them now.
- Provide live consulting sessions on how to open a company, apply for a grant etc.
- Share among regional officers what other regions in Europe are doing and what can be leveraged locally.
