About the project
Established start-ups and prospective tech entrepreneurs need a network to connect in order to achieve market success. The Access2Europe project aimed to help startups to scale by leveraging the access to European markets offered by four major startup hubs.
Ability to cut through the maze of information available online and bring the right people together in order to multiply the chances of the European startups to scale and grow turnover and retain qualified employees. The aim is to strengthen company growth within the EU (thus avoiding quick exits or move across the ocean) and to cross-pollinate the involved European startup ecosystems turning them into hubs of a diffused European start-up ecosystem.
