YOUR TRIP TO ASIA STARTS HERE.

As an entrepreneur, you know the potential of Asian markets are huge. So why do startups leave it to the large corporates to benefit from Asia's enormous potential? Is it because they have more capital and resources? Or is it because we just haven't taken that first step...

In a first-of-it-kind event, Bistream Venture Summit brings together European and East Asian ecosystems for a day of open exchange between founders, investors, and market experts interested in breaking into new markets. Join us on this journey to Asia.

BISTREAM's innagural Venture Summit comes to Berlin.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

In a truly first-of-it-kind event, Bistream Venture Summit brings together European entrepreneurs and East Asian investors for a day of open exchange between founders, investors, and market experts interested in breaking into new markets.

Join our lineup of experts, investors and founders and listen to the stories of those who have expanded to Asia: how they did it, what they learned, and what advice they have for you.

In association with Asia Pacific Weeks Berlin 2015, this conference will be a one-day event held at ehemaliges Stummfilmkino Delphi, a historic 1920s silent movie theater in Berlin. We invite founders of European startups to join a one-day tour through the labyrinth of questions surrounding Asia by directly speaking with investors, founders and other ecosystem members from Japan and China.

WHO WILL ATTEND?

Entrepreneurs who want to move into the East Asian market.

Investors from Japan and East Asia curious about European startups.

WHY SHOULD YOU COME?

As an entrepreneur, you know the potential of Asian markets are huge. China is already the biggest market for many well-known Western corporations. Including Japan and Korea, and the growing markets of South-East Asia, Asia-Pacific has a market size that forbids any large western corporation to ignore or disregard it. In fact, these corporations target Asian markets from the very beginning of their product development cycles.

Are European startups missing out on something here?

Why do startups leave it solely to large corporates to benefit from East Asia's enormous potential? Is it just because they have more capital, facilities and networks to cover it? Or is there something more behind it? Join us and find out.

YOUR TRIP TO ASIA STARTS HERE. RSVP NOW!
