About SWCSummit

5th & 6th October, 2021

WATCH SWCS SESSIONS

We do not surrender! And neither do you. Not to covid. Not to entrepreneurial hardships. We do change though. That’s why we’ve pivoted from the conference format to the full educational movement (don’t worry, we will still hold the conference next year as a part of our activities). That’s why you can enjoy the best content to push your businesses further throughout the whole year. Panel discussions with global execs. Full & uncut keynote speeches with Tosca Musk (Passionflix), Marvin Liao (500 Startups), Tom Cwik (NASA) and much more! Listen to podcast wherever you go. Get inspired & get more competitive.

More about the contest

MAKING ENTREPRENEURIAL
WAVES IN EUROPE AND BEYOND

The Startup World Cup & Summit is where Europe’s most promising founders meet investors, learn from each other, and start relationships that can change the trajectory of their businesses. It’s also a place where sharing a great idea in a casual networking session often leads to immediate investments. We are, after all, the biggest startup competition in Europe.

OUR AUSPICES

The SWCSummit takes place under the auspices of the Czech Republic's leading institutions such as The Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Czech Chamber of Commerce, the Association of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Crafts of the Czech Republic, the prime minister, and the mayor of Prague. They all see the benefits of organizing such events in the Czech Republic, for which we are grateful.
