Webit 2011 - StartUp Village Conference
Start Up Village is the new addition to Webit, specifically focused on the startup industry in Central and Eastern Europe. We see a rapidly evolving start up & entrepreneurial culture in the CEE region and growing potential for world class businesses in the digital space. StartUp Village invites entrepreneurs, investors, and digital industry professionals to share insights and experience the latest start up trends in CEE.
The event will include two-day expo and one day conference (27 October) providing a showcase of the top CEE start-ups, case studies and in-depth knowledge on the startup activity in the region.
The Start Up Village Conference offers a step-by-step process including how to start a tech company in CEE, what are the ways to scale outside your home market, how to finance your business and what is the stage of the venture capital/investor activity.
