After the EYEC-I held in Greece in June 2014 and EYEC-II “Scale Up Europe” held in Rome last December, the third EYEC event, this time in the form of a leadership assembly is taking place in London, UK, from Wednesday the 3rd to Friday the 5th of June.

The event is organized by Young Brits, a prominent member of the European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs and an active stakeholder of various international networks, taking the torch from Confindustria Young Entrepreneurs, who organized the event in Rome. EYEC in London will be organized under the auspices of the European Commission and the
StartupEurope Initiative.

London doubtlessly is the heart of the European high growth entrepreneurship ecosystem, with a booming scene of startups and investors attracting interest from Europe and all around the World. EYEC offers an unparalleled networking opportunity with the leading stakeholders of the London entrepreneurship ecosystem and hundreds of British young entrepreneurs!

Looking forward to welcoming you and members of your organization to London and wishing a very successful EYEC-III, kindly contact Maria Logotheti or at the phone contact +32493051428 for additional information and registration procedures.
