Beyond Borders - The Startup Conference for Scaling in Europe and Worldwide
Advertisement
🚀 Milan, we're bringing Europe's startup ecosystem into one room.
On 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, Rubik Hub and SmartCityLab Milano are bringing together the people building, funding, and shaping the future of startups for an international conference in Milan.
🌍 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 — 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞
How do European startups break into new markets? What do investors really look for? How can corporates and startups build partnerships that work? And what does Europe need to compete on the global stage?
We're bringing founders, investors, corporates, mentors, EU policymakers, and international ecosystem leaders together to tackle these questions, challenge assumptions, share lessons from the field, and build connections that lead somewhere.
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚:
🌍 Going Global: How Top Startups Scale
First-hand perspectives from startups that have expanded internationally, startup programs supporting their growth, and VCs.
🇪🇺 EU Innovation Challenges: From European to Local Challenges
The realities of building and scaling in Europe — and how the European market compares with the scale of the US and the speed of Asia.
🏢 Corporate Innovation: The Startup–Corporate Equation
Real collaboration models, notable exits, and what it takes to turn a corporate partnership into reality.
🔥 Rapid-Fire Investors Panel
Bold statements, real founder scenarios, and investors revealing what they actually think — no time for polished answers.
🎤 Rapid-Fire Founders Panel
Founders take the hot seat to share their perspectives, challenge assumptions, and talk honestly about building startups.
🚀 Startup Pitches
Discover a curated selection of high-potential European startups with strong traction.
🔄 Investor Reverse Pitches
Investors take the stage to explain what they're looking for, where they invest, and what they bring to founders beyond capital.
And that's not all. With parallel sessions, interactive formats, and opportunities to connect, the day is designed to take you beyond listening and into doing.
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
Because building a startup takes more than a good idea. Scaling internationally takes access to the right people, markets, capital, and knowledge — and stronger connections between the ecosystems that make these opportunities possible.
If you're building, funding, supporting, or enabling startups in Europe, this is a conversation you want to be part of — not hear about afterwards.
