Policies on Startup Europe

The Startup Europe Partnership (SEP) is building bridges between Europe's startup, corporate, education institutions and investment communities to help EU startups raise funds and beat language barriers to reach maturity as global champions.

The European Commission stimulates the startup continent by connecting players of the European local hubs. It organises matchmaking between investors, corporates, entrepreneurs and regional decision-makers.

We work to make starting up a company faster and cheaper anywhere in Europe.

Startup Europe coordinates EU work to connect clusters and ecosystems across Europe and aims at bringing stronger coherence between the different EU initiatives. It links up national and regional Ministries, innovation agencies and other stakeholders.

Take inspiration from entrepreneurs and startups in twelve Member States across the European Union. Many of them facing very challenging times in terms of unemployment, particularly among the young in Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain.

Startup Europe strengthens networking opportunities for deep tech scaleups and ecosystem builders to accelerate the growth of the European startup scene.
