International start-up weekend at PSTP

2017-05-23

Young innovators from Europe are coming to Poznań on 27-28 May (Saturday and Sunday) to take part in the Momentum Workshop. They are the EU-XCEL programme participants and the founders of fifteen new IT start-ups. During the workshop in Poznań, they will meet experts and business mentors, who will help them develop their newly established firms.

EU-XCEL is a European programme aimed to help young innovators from different countries to set up their own companies. Since the beginning of the programme twenty five start-ups have been established. Now fifteen of them are going to participate in the Momentum Workshop.

The programme of the workshop includes various practical exercises, discussions, coaching sessions and the so-called “devil’s advocate” sessions, which make it possible for start-ups to help one another and offer feedback. The Workshop will be conducted by experts from the EU and our Park. They will share their marketing, legal and strategic knowledge as well as technical and investment experience.

The founders of the following three outstanding start-ups will be among the participants:

• DOCYET – an application helping travellers to get medical care
• C&GO – assistive technologies for the blind
• Drive Brands – a platform connecting local businesses with drivers willing to drive with an ad on their car
