Kick-off: The Growth Stage – Experts, Pitches & Networking

3 Minutes. Pitch your Business. 1 Community. Building Connections.

Join the very first session of The Growth Stage, the international business network where professionals meet to connect, present, and grow together.

About this Event:
The Growth Stage is designed for entrepreneurs, founders, consultants, and professionals who want to combine knowledge, visibility, and real business opportunities.

Our kick-off session will bring together ambitious minds from across Europe (and beyond) — ready to share their work, ideas, and expertise in a supportive, collaborative space.

Each participant will have 2–3 minutes to introduce their business, project, or idea, and can share their LinkedIn profile, website, or calendar link in the chat to stay connected.
