Three successful years of SWG in Italy
With three successful programs already under our belts, we are excited to start the fourth and last of our programs in Milan. We have planned 4 acceleration programs in Italy under our European expansion strategy, with the goal of helping to build even more successful tech companies in Europe, and we are proud to see what we have accomplished so far. It all started with a crowdfunding campaign where we fundraised 1.2M EUR at the beginning of the pandemic to support and invest in both Italian startups, as well as those eager to expand into the Italian market. And we can’t witness the growth of the new portfolio members and celebrate their successes.
We also ran our first Cyber acceleration program in Cosenza Italy launched last September in partnership with CDP Venture Capital, where we had 7 kickass startups that are on a mission to change the global cyber landscape.
