서울창업허브 공덕 x Saint Clair - 유럽 진출 토크 콘서트
Seoul Startup Hub Gongdeok x Saint Clair - Europe Expansion Talk Concert
Hello,
This is Seoul Startup Hub Gongdeok.
We would like to introduce you to an event that will be helpful for startup founders who are preparing for or have already attempted international expansion.
Most Korean startups prioritize the United States when considering overseas expansion, but for industries where regulations, certifications, and sustainability are critical, Europe may actually be a better choice. Rather than a traditional exhibition-style program where only business cards are exchanged, we have prepared an opportunity to directly converse with actual European startup founders.
At this seminar jointly organized by Seoul Startup Hub Gongdeok and Saint Clair, listen to practical advice "before you spend money" from speakers who have directly founded startups in Europe and accumulated investment and evaluation experience.
