BUILDING A STRONG GLOBAL COMMUNITY

2019 SPEAKERS

OUR APPROACH

The Movers & Shakers Summit builds around: Startup City Representative, Startup Ecosystem Experts and Community Experts. The event has the primary goal to create action plans and milestones for explicit tasks that are relevant.

Best Practice Showcases

In a number of ignite-style talks experienced ecosystem experts from around the world will share their experience with a concrete project they were working on which moved their local scene forward. There will be a clear focus on: Impact, Process and Lessons Learned

Hands On Working Sessions

In small groups with a clearly defined topic, ecosystem experts, city representatives and community experts will work on a concrete action plan and milestones about what it takes to successfully implement a specific project within the city context.

The Guidebook

PIRATE will collect the concrete action plans and provide the insights from this day in a booklet to all ecosystem builders and city representatives.

By sharing attendee profiles we want to allow future projects to be successful and provide cities with the profiles of experts that can help them.

Who is it for?

The attendees are 60-80 selected global players of the public and private sector who drive their local startup ecosystems.

Community Builders

Movers&Shakers Summit was a super valuable experience. I meet other event organizers from around Europe and had many meaningful conversations. Thanks to Mover&Shakers I connected better with my fellow ecosystem builders and established relationships that will help us boost our global startup ecosystem.

Janet Todorova, Digitalk

For me it was one of the best events I ever attended as it allowed me to really connect and interact with people with a similar background. With its focus on quality over quantity it allowed for conversations that went far beyond the normal conference Small Talk. The workshop sessions touched topics deeply relevant to the participants which led to great discussions during and after the event.

Sara Usinger, Hatch CoLab

I really appreciate the community and space that you have created. I met some incredible people at the Movers&Shakers Summit. With most of them I have already exchanged ideas on upcoming projects and how we can help each other.

Kai Isand, Latitude59

The location and atmosphere were simply stunning. I cannot think of another event with such open exchange and strictly no-bullshit, no-vanity attitude of everyone involved. Bravo! I loved it and got a lot out of it for our future endeavors in developing our local startup ecosystem.
