Three great speakers are talking about their startup experience as well as all the other important parts of becoming successful.



We are involved with Tallinn Entrepreneurship Day and a big youth entrepreneurship conference held on 5th of October in Viru Conference Center. Roots of the youth conference actually go back to year 2006 and it has grown and got more international every year. This year both Tallinn University of Technology and Tehnopol are backing the event. There will be three great speakers talking about entrepreneurship, starting up and all the mess that usually surrounds it. 

It´s a FREE event (registration)but be warned - last year all 500 seats were filled really quickly (app 24 hours). With great speakers, awesome audience, educating but funny videos and beautiful place it has always been a super for motivation, know-how and new contacts.
