Startup Lighthouse kick-off took place in Lisbon last week,  where 6 partners from Lithuania, United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Ireland and Greece met for the first time to set goals for the upcoming 24 months. Partners discussed project aims and objectives and set an outline for the first Deep Dive Weeks in Berlin, Dublin, Vilnius and Lisbon. Startup Lighthouse will offer scouting missions to the ‘so desired’ Silicon Valley, New York and Israel where selected startups will get a chance to position themselves as global players!

Startup Lighthouse sets a standard for developing cross-border connections within and beyond Europe. The project will light the way for startups within Europe by organizing Deep Dive Weeks in 4 ecosystems and culminating with a Top 10 Lighthouse Award each year. Startup Lighthouse will directly support over 120 startups by helping them connect to the key people through matchmaking, 1-to-1 mentoring workshops, and many more activities helping startups scale!
