NOV. 7, 2018
The 2018 Seedstars tour across more than ten countries in the region has come to an end. This year, together with our partner Luminate, we aimed at finding the best tech startups that help establish more efficient and transparent relationships between the government and citizens or make a social impact on the community.
Today, the majority of socio-economic aspects of the region are going through the transformation. Therefore, it is critical to support the citizens in their endeavour to build more democratic, open, and thriving societies. We strongly believe that the CEE and Central Asia have a high potential for tech products including the civic tech ones that can strengthen the ecosystem and accelerate the economic growth in the region.
This year, we were lucky to spot 22 ‘rising stars’ from 10 countries and welcome them to the Seedstars community. The local competition for Ukraine is not over yet. During Seedstars CEE Summit, the finalists from four Ukrainian cities will compete for the chance to represent the country at the Global Summit.
