initial success with Stride Plus and his dreams for the future will always find my best wishes and support and I expect him one day, in the not

14. What is the Startup and SMB Summit™?
A fast-growing global community of startup and SMB decision makers
Successful past ediitons
genevasummit.eventbrite.com
Primarily focused on the UAE market, the Startup and SMB Summit has had
several successful editions in the Middle East, and has been tried and tested as a
successful event theme to bring together startup and SMB decision makers,
discuss key industry trends and provide a platform for dialogue and discussion.
Why Switzerland?
On seeing the tremendous value our event has brought to startups and small
businesses in our past editions, we were curious to explore new markets
where we could do the same. Though a fairly mature market, the startup and
SMB ecosystem in Switzerland caught our attention and we were
instantaneously interested in making advancements there, with our event.
Tremendous value-add
From potential customers and partnerships to investors, the Startup and SMB
Summit has been a great platform for attendees to make the right connections and
cultivates a productive environment for business to take place.
