We’re excited to announce that Lucien Burm, Board Member at Allied for Startups, will be speaking at this year’s EU-Startups Summit!
Allied for Startups is a global network aimed at fostering the digital economy by connecting policymakers with technology ecosystems worldwide. With a presence in 30 countries, four continents, and over 40 associations, its mission is to create a global consensus on policies that support digital entrepreneurship and the broader digital economy.
Lucien has a rich history in the digital and startup sectors, starting his journey by founding an internet consulting business in the mid-1990s, transitioning to a startup entrepreneur in 2008, and playing a pivotal role in establishing the first few accelerator programs in the Netherlands. He has been a mentor to many startups and organized the first Amsterdam Startup Week in 2013. He also serves as Chairman of the Dutch Startup Association, where he aims to make the Netherlands the leading startup hub in Europe.
At the summit, Lucien will tackle the pressing topic: “Why European startups are still less likely to create the next Big Tech giant – and how to scale in and out of Europe.” This insightful talk will explore the challenges and opportunities for European startups aiming to achieve significant scale and impact both within and outside Europe.
Join us at the EU-Startups Summit to hear from Lucien Burm and gain valuable insights into scaling startups in Europe and beyond. Stay tuned for more updates and visit our event page for additional information about other speakers and activities planned for the summit.
