About this event

The Startup Guide Summit brings together startups, investors, public sector representatives, community builders, and key stakeholders from 60 startup ecosystems.

The goal of the Summit is to foster exchange and collaboration between these diverse stakeholders to find and match solutions to our world’s biggest challenges through innovation and collaboration.

Through this event, we hope to create a platform that encourages the exchange of ideas and helps to create meaningful partnerships that can drive real change.

“After 11 years of mapping innovation ecosystems across the world, we now know that entrepreneurship and innovation are absolutely everywhere! We have learned that local innovation plays a crucial role in solving some of the most complex issues of our time.

The problem is no longer how to find the next big idea, because to a significant extent, we have the solutions and the technology we need. We have mapped them, we have seen them; they are out there.

The challenge now becomes: How do we get them implemented quickly and sustainably?”

Sissel Hansen, CEO of Startup Guide
