Lift will host the first Seedstars World Final Event 2014 on Tuesday 4th February afternoon at the CICG; a pre-Lift day under the sign of international startups and entrepreneurs coming from emerging startup scenes.
SeedstarsWorld Competition Final
During the whole of 2013, Alisée and Pierre-Alain, members of Seedstars World team, have travelled - and still are on their way! - around the globe to meet entrepreneurs, accelerators/incubators, investors and organized regional pitching events. They visited 20 cities, including Baku, Accra, Bangalore, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro, attracted 1’000 applicants and engaged 100 local jury members. We are very excited to announce that the big final event will be hosted in Geneva, the day before Lift14. It will feature the 20 best startups selected during the world tour and have them showcase their project on sage.
