It makes a huge difference if you’re a startup founder in a supportive environment or in a region where startups are almost unheard of. 

Where does our Central Eastern European region currently stand and what does it offer to its startups? That’s what our guests are going to discuss at our 3rd Satellite event! 

You’re going to hear:

  • What’s the current state of the startup ecosystem in the CEE region.
  • How can we empower entrepreneurs in the Alps-Adriatic and Western Balkan regions.
  • How to encourage an entrepreneurial mindset.
  • How to support and improve startup infrastructure and programs.
  • How to incorporate diversity into the startup ecosystem in order to enrich it.

Join Gabriele Tatzeberger from Vienna Business Agency, Tanja Sternbauer from The Female Factor and Matija Nakić from Farseer and hear them discuss their first-hand experience, challenges and emerging opportunities.

The discussion will be moderated by Dejan Jovičević from Der Brutkasten.

The event is going to be streamed on Podim’s Facebook page and on Der Brutkasten’s Facebook page.
