In early April, the ten startups selected for Venture Leaders Technology 2025 will head to Silicon Valley for a weeklong roadshow. The trip will allow them to connect with investors, industry leaders, and experts while sharpening their strategies for international expansion. To prepare, the entrepreneurs gathered in Schlieren on February 19 for an in-person kickoff and a virtual pitch event open to the public.
Chosen from over 200 applicants by a jury of investors and technology experts, this year's Venture Leaders will travel to one of the world's top tech hubs to accelerate their US market entry. The program offers direct exposure to investors, networking opportunities, and hands-on workshops designed to refine their approach to scaling internationally.
