Building Bridges Global Summit | All-Access Pass
Where the world's startup ecosystems connect.
Building Bridges brings together leaders of accelerators, university innovation programs and entrepreneurial ecosystems from around the world to exchange ideas, build trusted relationships and create new opportunities for the founders they support.
Inspired by Silicon Valley's culture of paying it forward, we're extending that same spirit of generosity, collaboration and opening doors across borders.
We're all well connected within our own ecosystems, but far less connected to one another. Building Bridges is about changing that.
Who's in the room?
A curated gathering of accelerator executives, university innovation leaders and ecosystem builders from the U.S., Canada, UK, Ukraine and Central America, alongside leading Bay Area organizations including Stanford StartX, Berkeley SkyDeck, Alchemist, Swissnex and JETRO.
We'll also bring Silicon Valley investors, corporate executives and industry experts into the conversation, creating opportunities for relationships that extend well beyond the Summit.
