We are proud of part of the Crossroads 2020, initiated by Startup Utrecht, which aims to support MEET UP > SPEED UP > SCALE UP! Sharing information and experiences is crucial for scaling up. Collaborating helps you to be successful. Meeting each other is the key to find the right people for all of that. And while you are on your way, where do you meet the people that are also travelling towards success? Exactly: you meet them at crossroads.
International and regional collaboration is the best route for success. To bridge the gap between different ecosystems and to drive growth, Taiwan Globalization Network-TGN organizes this workshop. Learn how Hub2Hub can help you launch in both Asia and Europe, through co-innovation and co-acceleration.
Internationalization is the key success factor for economic growth. Bridging the gap between different ecosystems helps to lower thresholds and drive growth. In this session, we share experiences and take a closer look at the experiences that the Hub2Hub soft-landing collaboration structure provides. The Hub2Hub is an established collaboration between Startup Terrace, Linkou, Taiwan, and Utrecht Region, The Netherlands, as the hubs to the Asian and European markets, respectively.
More regional hubs are invited to share their thoughts and to join to expand this valuable Hub2Hub network. Entrepreneurs are welcome to network with participating hubs and to inspire the hubs with concrete means to strengthen their soft landing programmes.
