SEW Larissa

A business idea can be developed effectively anywhere, as long as the initiator understands the specificities and advantages of their locality. With the theme “This is Your Place to Grow”, Startup Europe Week Larissa 2024 aims to inspire and guide young entrepreneurs and startuppers in their first steps and introduce them to resources, services and support programmes they can use to grow.
This year’s open event includes two panel discussions with guest speakers from the startup ecosystem, representatives of businesses, organizations and public bodies who will share valuable advice and analyze ways to enhance and support mechanisms for startup entrepreneurship in Larissa and wider Thessaly, an interview, as well as interaction with the public through a Q&A session and a live quiz with prizes.
