A BIT OF BACKGROUND...WHY SEW IS FOCUSING ON THE REGIONS?
...But Europe is different! The Regions are powerful stakeholders in any startup activity in Europe, typically involved in key factors impacting the creation of Startups…
• Incorporation processes, licenses, eliminating bureaucracy, local taxes
• Grants, subsidies and funding
• Office space & infrastructure
• Educational resources
• Employment initiatives (tax breaks, space etc.)
... What if we could learn and share what Regions can do for a Startup at an European level?
