START Summit is Europe’s leading student-run conference for entrepreneurship and Technology, bringing together over 3500 startups, investors, corporates and young talents. This year it was held in St Gallen, Switzerland, on 23-24 of March 2022. The summit offers an opportunity to take a deep dive into the entrepreneurial scene and network in the ecosystem.
Through project “EU Support to Science and Technology Park Belgrade for Services to Innovative Companies”, funded by the European Union, six participants from Serbia from three companies (Phobos, ZenHire and Inclusio) had the opportunity to attend the event, learn, expand experience or potential investors.
Phobos is a video game development company. Attending the Start Summit 2022 comes at a crucial time for Phobos, since the company is looking for investments in order to expand the team and hire industry experts to work on innovative gameplay solutions.
ZenHire is a startup developing an AI hiring recruiter that enables an easier recruiting process. ZenHire is currently looking to raise their first round of investment, as their scalable version of the app and AI MVP are taking a strong shape. Their first version of their conversational chatbot was demonstrated to investors at the Summit.
Inclusion is a startup, developing an IoT solution which helps people with disabilities to perform daily activities in public places. Inclusio had the opportunity to get new ideas on how to improve their product, adapt to foreign markets and become more investment-ready, but also make the first steps in finding business partners and impact investors.
