Startup Fest Europe 2017 Presents ‘Global Challenges, Startup Solutions’
During Startup Fest Europe ‘Global challenges, Startup Solutions', The Netherlands will be the epicenter for international startups, scale ups, investors, scientists, corporates and other innovators. The festival will take place from 25 - 29 September 2017 and feature thematic events, fun & energising meetups, deep dives and deal-making throughout the Netherlands.

‘Global challenges - like health, security, food security and clean energy - demand transformative, sustainable and technical solutions. Startups can play a major and potentially decisive role in solving these challenges. But to do so startups, scale-ups, investors, scientists and corporates must collaborate.
