Dublin chosen to launch major EU start-up initiative

Dublin has been chosen to launch Start-up Europe Week at the beginning of February, with a DCU event to be live streamed to the European Commission (EC) to kick off five days of talks that will be simultaneously held across 28 countries.

Aimed at helping start-ups negotiate the regulatory bureaucracy of the EU, the EC set up Start-up Europe to help 350 regions host events all over the union.

Dublin’s tech hub means most eyes will be on the Irish capital, with the launch event on 1 February in demand on the continent. The whole thing runs until 5 February, with a wrap-up event that Friday night.
