DEEPSEA Ecosystem Conference, 18th May, 2020

When and where is it on?

DEEPSEA Ecosystem Conference is all-online event starting from 18th May 2020.

How many years has it been going?

DEEPSEA continues the success story of the first global startup ecosystem accelerator program we launched in 2018. Now, we do it all online.

What was the inspiration to start it?

The development of start-up ecosystems is an important factor for the economic development of regions and countries. The rapid transformation of digital technologies requires not only the necessary structural conditions but also the consideration of the cultural, social, conceptual and financial factors that support start-ups in their emergence and development. The resulting complexity is beyond the scope of classical management models and poses a new challenge to people with a mandate to contribute to the ecosystem. The professional group of “managers of the start-up scene” or Startup Ecosystem Builders is facing up to this task and needs targeted

further training courses in order to always be informed about the latest findings and best practices and to critically review their own approaches.

Educational organizations and forums in which this circle can exchange practical experiences are systematically non-existent. In view of the high investment sums invested by public and private parties in the development of ecosystems, it is also in the interest of the donor to give the responsible persons access to the necessary and practical know-how. The European Startup Initiative has recognized this problem and has developed a program for people and organizations with the mission to build startup ecosystems or participate in their functioning.

What exciting things can people look forward to?

Access to online modules provide the basic knowledge, practical tasks and literature references, and the opportunity to explore the subject in greater depth.
