About this event

Do investors around the globe act the same way? 

With a rapidly shrinking world, you might think that the differences would be less and less, and that we would all have perfect information. But there are still some fundamental differences, and some markets are actually a few years ahead, or behind, depending on how you want to see it.

  • Can this cause trouble for a Startup looking for investments, yes, so its important to prepare!
  • Can the differences be an opportunity for a well-prepared startup or investor, definitely! You have a lot to win from being able to navigate and use the opportunities that the differences create.
