Startup Extreme, the world's most extreme startup event, is BACK! About this event Once a year, the most impactful and influential figures in tech journey to the mountains of Norway to create Startup Extreme—a startup event dedicated to bridging new relationships and fostering the growth of entrepreneurship internationally. Leave your suit and tie behind and join us in the mountains of Norway. You’ll experience two days of outdoor activities, world-class speakers, thought-provoking conversations, performances, and much more. We believe that true connections don’t happen in office meeting rooms, on video calls, or at traditional events and conferences; but when people are put in situations that allow them to be real, authentic, and a little outside of their comfort zones. So what better arena to meet upcoming startup founders, eager investors, and curious corporations. Join us for two days of "networking the Norwegian way" EBAN Members can contact us for their special member discount code!  For more information about the event, visit https://www.startupextreme.co/!

A space to connect, create and accelerate business ideas and growth amid COVID-19 About the Women’s Entrepreneurship Expo Women entrepreneurs have also been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite support and training programmes, a gap remains in the provision of supportive entrepreneurship conditions and opportunities to accelerate their ideas and ventures to the next level of business growth and beyond local markets. In direct response to this gap, UN Women is organizing its first virtual regional Women’s Entrepreneurship Expo. The Expo platform will provide a unique opportunity for women entrepreneurs (new, start-ups and established) to connect with national, multinational and global companies, business investors, mentors and other partners, and vice versa. With interactive and co-creation hubs, experimentation, idea-generation sessions, business-pitching labs, a showcase marketplace of women-owned business ventures, networking, peer-learning opportunities, mentoring support and much more, women entrepreneurs will design, refine and test prototype business plans. UN Women’s virtual regional Women’s Entrepreneurship Expo will run from 27–29 April 2021. The opening of the Expo will be livestreamed on UN Women Europe and Central Asia’s Facebook account.
