On August 23, 24 and 25, inspiring speakers from START IT met for the first time with young entrepreneurs and startup companies in Varna, Dobrich and Shumen. The event was aimed at everyone who wants to start their own business and are looking for a way to realize their ideas.

START IT aims to support entrepreneurs from different age groups, regardless of the business area they are targeting. During the events, participants had the opportunity to meet successful Bulgarian entrepreneurs who shared their experiences and gave valuable advice on starting your own business, growth strategies, as well as funding and development opportunities.
