INCLUDING SCALEUP SUMMIT ON SEPTEMBER 25-26
AT NASDAQ ENTREPRENEURIAL CENTER, SAN FRANCISCO

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) partners with Mind the Bridge in organizing, as part of the annual Startup Europe Comes to Silicon Valley (SEC2SV) week, a San Francisco Scaleup Summit.

The Summit will feature around 40 international corporates, up to 75 selected scaleups, and investors operating in the following areas: Healthy, Circular Cities; Decarbonization; E-Mobility; Digital Construction; Travel Tech; and Smart Cities. EIT Hub Silicon Valley is organizing the theme “Healthy, Circular Cities.”
