Welcome to Special Episode No.103.5 of the #StartupShow!
Last year at this time we met with the students from the University of St. Gallen and dedicated one episode to the special event that they organized, START Summit 2017. Today, we are happy to present Niklas Leck and Jonas Brahms, President and Vice President of this year's event.
Stay with us and you will find out how to organize a startup event for 2.000 participants and how crucial the networking at these kind of gatherings can be. It is our pleasure to announce that we will be presenting a live #StartupShow during the conference in mid-March! Taking the StartupShow live is an exciting collaboration and we’re looking forward to recording in front of a live audience for the very first time!
The program of START Summit 2018 is divided into four parts: Blockchain, AR/VR, Artificial Intelligence and IoT, with an additional focus on Health Tech. The organizers succeeded to get high-class speakers for each field, and Niklas and Jonas announced in our interview some of the 'biggest names'!
