EBAN "Gateway to Europe" Committee
The European Business Angel Network (EBAN) and the Georgian Business Angel Network (AXEL) established a "Gateway to Europe" committee to facilitate the connection between the startup and investment ecosystems in Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
Central Asia and the Caucasus are rapidly growing economic regions with significant potential for investment and collaboration with Europe. Georgia, as a strategically located country in the region, serves as a natural gateway between Europe and the region.
Committee presents a unique opportunity for regional startups and investors. This initiative builds a bridge and opens doors to growth and exciting new opportunities.
