In the programmes, start-ups benefit from individual mentoring and the opportunity to network with investors and business partners at an early stage.
The year in figures: Strengthening networks, celebrating successes
2024 was a year full of impressive figures for Up2B:
- 69 start-ups were supported in the programmes.
