Thank you for joining us at StartupBlink Ecosystem Summit, on 2 February, Thursday
We are thrilled to have recently completed another successful ecosystem summit! We covered a lecture on "Where are the startup ecosystems of the future?" in both sessions and more than 20 ecosystem representatives around the world pitched the amazing opportunities and resources available in their locations.
We wanted to give a heartfelt thank you to each and every participant and presenter for being a part of this summit.
