April 2019 Edition

On April 25th, 2019 in Gdansk, investors, experienced with cross-border investments joined us at our first event. During the day-long event, they helped us with working out the best practices regarding the funding of startups in different countries.

We recognized the factors stopping them, as well as those encouraging them to make cross-border investments. We identified what they see as barriers to cooperation, what can be done to reduce them, and how the development of Digital Securities can make ecosystem integration easier.

The investors presented their most significant challenges and shared their observations. We have compiled a report based on the knowledge gathered during this event that is currently the base for further work on building an integrated ecosystem of various startup hubs.
