ECO17 Berlin Agenda
Smart green unicorns made in Europe
An important goal for our smart green startup community is to produce unicorns that reach billion dollar valuations while having a lot of positive impact on our planet. This can only be achieved if very ambitious founders in Europe work together with the best investors and corporates to market their products globally. Techcrunch lists 2 French startups: BlaBlaCar (Ecosummit TV, $1.6B) is a unicorn already while Sigfox ($637M) is an emerging unicorn.
Ecosummit Berlin 2017 took place on 9-10 May 2017 at Radialsystem, Holzmarktstrasse 33, 10243 Berlin, Germany. ECO17 Berlin was supported by 30 sponsors from 11 countries and 95 speakers including 61 startups went on stage, among them a few contestants that may become smart green unicorns soon. ECO17 Berlin was recorded for Ecosummit TV and all videos are online and linked next to each speaker below. Thanks so much for joining us, it was a big pleasure hosting you.
