About the event
As startups face rising taxes, reduced support and tougher immigration rules, scaling in Europe is now harder and more urgent. From navigating complex regulations to hiring talent across borders, how can founders overcome this new set of obstacles? How are emerging hubs like Estonia, with their digital-first infrastructure, helping navigate this complexity? How do you unlock growth in the EU? How can startup hubs help founders go global faster?
