In May, the startups selected by BoostER will explore the Scandinavian ecosystem as part of the SMAU 2025 tour.
The programme includes: a reception at the Italian Embassy, matchmaking meetings and speed pitching sessions, as well as visits to incubators and accelerators to foster partnerships.
In June, the startups selected by BoostER will take part in a roadshow in the French capital, where they will be able to exchange skills, ideas and experiences with creators, investors and companies. The aim is to encourage the creation of new partnerships and the growth of high-potential projects.
