EC Conference: How to go from startup to scaleup? Experiences and future perspectives

The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research & Innovation and the OECD Science, Technology and Innovation Directorate will co-host the joint conference “How to go from startup to scaleup? Experiences and Future Perspectives”. 

This hybrid event, taking place Thursday 10 April 2025, 14:00 – 18:00 (CEST), brings together key stakeholders to explore challenges and policy solutions for fostering Europe’s startup ecosystem.

It will highlight key findings from the EU-funded OECD project, “Building a Robust Innovative Entrepreneurship Ecosystem for a Digital and Green Economy” (BRIDGE). The project focuses on assessing and strengthening Europe’s innovative startup ecosystem, particularly in the digital and green technology sectors. By analysing the entire life cycle of startups, from their creation to their exit, the project identifies challenges, opportunities, and policy recommendations for fostering a more supportive and dynamic startup environment. The conference will feature a presentation of the BRIDGE project’s final findings, followed by a panel discussion with experts on policy implications for Europe’s startup ecosystem. 

Registration for both in-person and online attendance is open until 3 April 2025 at 12:00 (CEST).
