Having the opportunity to participate in the USWC 2017 was a life-changing experience. The people I met, the ideas that were shared, the lessons learned and the experiences shared over the course of a week were absolutely unbelievable and will never be forgotten.
Enjoyed the entrepreneurial vibe of Denmark through opportunities to meet accelerator programs, investors and create long term friendships with amazing international startups.
The USWC isn’t just a platform to showcase your business, establish networks and compete in a competitive environment. It is an opportunity to make lasting friendships and establish impactful business links that have the capacity to forge the future. It is an experience.
