The startups participating will enjoy a series of personalised mentoring sessions<\/strong>, training activities<\/strong> and individual meetings with experts<\/strong> to increase their fundraising capacity. In addition, there will be several workshops<\/strong> and networking events<\/strong> to connect entrepreneurs,<\/strong> corporates, mentors<\/strong> and investors<\/strong> from all over Europe, such as the Investment Readiness Demo Day<\/strong>.
