i4G pro Startup Competition 2017
I4Gpro is running its first start-up competition aiming to incubate the best teams of young entrepreneurs. We have designed a pretty new start-up pre-incubator in Thessaloniki’s city centre as well as a special start-up development program, the Founders’ Lab (link to Founders’ Lab). Our vision is to establish the centre of entrepreneurship and innovation in Northern Greece. Our mission starts with attracting the most ambitious start-ups of our region. We believe in continuous development and expansion. We are glad calling all the interested start-ups to participate in i4Gpro start-up competition 2017.
Why
Winning start-ups will have the opportunity to attend the Founders’ Lab. Specifically, competition’s winners will take advantage of close co-operation with our team of coaches and mentors who have the experience and expertise to provide appropriate guidance to turn a business idea into a fully operational business. We will also provide them the necessary funding opportunities in order to scale-up while they will enjoy working in our fully equipped incubator being part of our ecosystem.
