Allied for Startups Annual Summit 2023

Join The Allied for Startups Annual Summit on the 10th of October in Brussels.

The Allied for Startups Annual Summit brings together representatives from over 25 startup associations across the world. Every year, we deliberate on the most critical policy issues, discuss new trends and cast our votes to determine the focus areas for the year ahead. This democratic approach empowers the community to have a collective voice in shaping policies that impact the growth and success of the startup ecosystem.

For the first time, the Summit will open its doors to the public, bringing together entrepreneurs, startup communities, policymakers and industry experts to debate digital trends, entrepreneurship, and legislation. We hope to create a space to strengthen the ties between startup associations, policymakers, and experts that will foster a collaborative environment and drive startup innovation.
