Details: The Startup World Cup will take place on 8 March 2017 for start-ups in the Greater Region and Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
The Startup World Cup is set to be the first event of its kind ever held in Europe. Most importantly, this exceptional event organised by Farvest, will take place in Luxembourg due to the efforts made by the Government of Luxembourg to maintain its reputation as a start-up nation and its rapidly developing ecosystem.
Startup World Cup is a global series of conferences and competitions with the goal of bridging startup ecosystems worldwide, and it encourages the most talented entrepreneurs to battle for the prestige of winning the Startup World Cup. 16 regional events are scheduled all over the world, including 8 March in Luxembourg, leading up to the Grand Finale in Silicon Valley. Startup World Cup is organised by Fenox Venture Capital, an early stage, Silicon Valley based VC firm. The March event in Luxembourg represents the European debut of the competition.
Because of its strong local anchorage and well-known international experience in supporting startups from all around the world, from creation to transformation into multinational companies, EY Luxembourg was chosen to be the main partner of this event, which will take place in the EY premises. “At EY Luxembourg, entrepreneurship is part of our DNA. We are therefore very pleased to collaborate with Farvest and to host this world-class event which perfectly fits with our “Building a Better Working World” mission. As part of it, our EYnovation programme aims at providing full support to startups around the world and brings us to the center of the Luxembourg startup nation, while providing opportunities to our professionals to innovate and develop an entrepreneurship spirit”, said Olivier Lemaire, Technology, Media and Telecom Leader and EYnovation Leader at EY Luxembourg.
The event will include pitches from the top startups across Europe.
The Grand Finale will take place in San Francisco on 24 March 2017. The winner of the pitching competition will represent Europe and compete alongside 15 other startups from all over the world for a chance to win a USD 1,000,000 prize in investment.
