The “Start Uperitivo: Meet Up” is a relaxed networking format for everyone who wants to connect with others around startups, ideas, and innovation – without a stage, an agenda, or a formal program. In a casual atmosphere with pizza and drinks, students, young professionals, founders, creatives, and people from a wide range of disciplines across the regional startup and innovation community come together. The goal is to build new connections, share ideas, and engage in open conversation.
