GLOBAL STARTUP AWARDS
The world’s largest independent startup ecosystem competition
The Challenge
Startup ecosystems from all parts of the world are developing fast but each one differently from the others, which makes interactions and engagements with them very resource demanding.
What we do
We do startup ecosystem competitions (nationally, regionally and globally) which collects and aggregates the market knowledge of local partners on a grassroots level, ending with award shows and invite-only business events for the participants selected by the competition.
How we do it
Our unique bottom-up, community driven approach and our well developed and transparent selection procedures powered by our proprietary software has made Global Startup Awards a credible brand.

The world’s largest independent startup ecosystem competition
Since 2012
Global Startup Awards is the largest independent startup ecosystem driven competition with the purpose to find, publicly recognise and connect startups on different verticals and maturity levels, investors, incubation / acceleration programs, coworking offices and influential founders, working closely with hundreds of local partners.
More than a competition
Global Startup Awards is by default a platform for engagement and connection. Our competitions (regional and global) are designed to bring the best out of our competitors, from engagement on social media (pre and post event) to targeted business matchmaking.
Our partners enjoy complete brand alignment and promotion across our communication channels creating a smooth blend between the innovative competitors and their own services.
We have worked with more than 100 clients to get them exposure and access to the different startup ecosystems using the brand, competition and events as a vessel, insights and to get directly connected to individuals and organisations. For more information see OUR PRESENTATION.
