Startup & Freelancer Casual Meeting

Sometimes there's nothing more productive than an unproductive conversation.

The event is an experiment to foster the networking opportunity between the members of the innovation ecosystem of Venice, both local startups, local authorities and freelancers. The meeting will take place in Feltrinelli Bistrot with the aim to promote an informal and friendly atmosphere, a sort of creative atmosphere for entrepreneurship. In addition to entrepreneurs and freelancers we’ll invite to the event: science and technology parks, incubators, banks, universities, professionals, business associations, etc. We will assign to some of these a word (such as startup, crowdfunding, spinoff, third mission, etc) and will ask them to do a public speech for 180 seconds to start open, free and informal discussions about every word.

Organizer: Startup Europe Week, Sumo soc. coop., Kid Pass, VEGA.

Startup Europe Week has been created to include all the european regions in a startup focused program.

Many global initiatives have been created to celebrate entrepreneurship. Typically, such events follow the Silicon Valley format (keynote motivational speeches, networking sessions etc).
But Europe is different and requires something more when it comes to starting a business. Regional diversity and local policy making play a big role in shaping European startups. European regions are key players, from helping entrepreneurs to incorporate a company, to providing grants or taxes breaks.
