WHY ATTEND?
sTARTUp Day is so unique because of its diversity. It’s the place were startuppers, investors, executives, world-class experts and media meet – and that’s how great ideas are born.

sTARTUp Day is a festival where business combines with celebration, entrepreneurship and good vibes. We believe in a startup mindset – it’s about getting things done, no matter what, getting yourself back on track after failing and always dreaming as big as possible. That’s a startup mindset – and the mindset of everyone at sTARTUp Day.
