About SEC2SV

Startup Europe Comes to Silicon Valley (SEC2SV) brings together the most relevant founders, professionals, and policy-makers from the EU entrepreneurial ecosystem and Silicon Valley in engaging meetings and workshops with the goal of forging meaningful long term relationships. Since 2015, SEC2SV has showcased 61 scaleups, hosted 20+ workshops with top policymakers and engaged thousands of people at its European Innovation Day conference.

Workshops, investor/corporate visits, meetings with the Entrepreneurship Sounding Board, one Policy Hackathon, one Investor Summit, 6 Evening Receptions complete the 2019 program that benefits from the attendance of a large EU Delegation, led by Gerard de Graaf (Director for the Digital Single Market, EU Commission), Kristin Schreiber (Director in charge of COSME Programme and SME policy), plus several representatives from European cities, regions, and associations of local authorities.
