On May 9-10, we’ll be hosting the 10-year anniversary of our annual in sunny Malta! At the event, we’ll have lots of exciting speakers, panel discussions, networking activities, pitch competitions and much more. The EU-Startups Summit will gather founders, startup enthusiasts and investors for two days of networking, inspiration and learning!
This year, one of the panel discussions on our main stage will be focusing on How to empower women and underrepresented minorities to take a lead in tech, startups and VC.
