In the 2021 TeamUp edition, 63 innovators from 15 countries in Southern and Eastern Europe were invited to the Matchmaking phase of TeamUp. During the Matchmaking month, participants were networking, getting to know each other, testing relationship through business scenarios, pitching and learning more about their own values and ambition.
After an intensive Matchmaking phase, 15 matches were made between tech and business co-founders. These 15 newly created teams will now continue into the Exploration phase during which they will explore and test their match. The teams will be supported with business building and team formation training, a stipend as well as business and team building coaching from 20 world-class experts.
