EBN Congress 2023, 14-16th June, in Brno, Czechia, organised by the European Business and Innovation Centre Network (EBN) and the pan-European EU|BIC community.

At EBN 2023, we celebrated EU|BICs who contribute to the growth of Europe's best performing startups, scaleups, and unicorns - empowering entrepreneurs who tackle regional challenges and drive inclusive economic prosperity.  Each year, EU|BICs support 33,000+ such companies, providing scalable solutions for customers in Europe and beyond.

We were among more than 250 professionals from 37 countries who participated in 18 different sessions with 36 speakers, each of whom shared their experiences and insights into innovation and leadership. Vaughn Tan, author of the "Uncertainty Mindset" highlighted that “if we embrace the power of the unknown, we can push beyond our limits, challenge our assumptions and create new opportunities for growth and development”. He also encouraged us to unleash the power of uncertainty and harness its power to drive innovation forward and create a better more innovative future for us all.

The impressive line-up of inspiring speakers and panellists included Vaughn Tan, Fiammetta Diani, Bernardo Brum, Martin Rusnak (EUSPA - EU Agency for the SpaceProgramme), Keith Sequeira (European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), Martin Murray & John Phelan (Furthr), Sebastien Wiertz, Asier Rufino (TECNALIA Ventures), and Corine Kiame (IM Fndng),who shared their expertise and inspired us throughout EBN 2023
