As in 2018, this year we embark on a Discovery Tour to a region that has great potential for high-tech entrepreneurship. We are very excited to showcase a region on the radar for many. The region of Eastern Europe is realizing one of the highest economic growth and also is a hotspot for thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems that have generated $5 billion in liquidity back to investors in the past few years.

• Identify the next wave of top privately held companies from the South East Europe Countries.
• Promote investment and partnering by introducing a delegation of international investors and top European entrepreneurs to the key players in the region.
• Sector and stage scope of companies - 24 selected 'expansion' tech ventures active in Deep tech, Mobility, Energy, Agri-tech, Blockchain.
