The Global StartupCities initiative has been bringing together startups, investors, and corporates across Europe since 2018. We strive to expand opportunities for development and challenge limits that may be perceived as barriers. The annual Global StartupCities Summit, also known as the Unique Summit, is where people meet and collaborate to turn their visions into reality.

Unique Summit
