Allied For Startups at the First Meeting of the European Startup and Scale-up Forum
On 17 February, our Director-General, Serena Borbotti-Frison, had the privilege of participating in the launch of the European Startups and Scale-ups Forum – a platform where founders and innovators can engage directly with the European Commission to propose solutions that will form the foundation of the EU Strategy on Startups and Scale-ups.
The Forum is designed to identify the key challenges faced by founders and innovators, and to propose solutions that will form the foundation of the EU’s Startup & Scale-up Strategy.
Alongside Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva, Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen, and other key stakeholders, we discussed critical topics such as access to finance, talent, markets, and regulatory frameworks—all essential for driving Europe’s innovation forward.
A big thank you to Commissioner Zaharieva, Vice-President Virkkunen, for this invaluable opportunity and to all participants for engaging and contributing to the discussions. We’re excited to see how these discussions will help drive forward Europe’s innovation ecosystem.
