Reserve Your Spot: Inaugural Building Bridges Global Summit

Where the world's accelerators build bridges. By invitation · San Francisco. The world's startup ecosystems are going global — but founders don't just need funding. They need bridges. Drawing on the Building Bridges Insights Report, a survey of 80+ accelerator leaders across eight countries, the inaugural Building Bridges Global Summit convenes a small, deliberate room of accelerator leaders, global investors, university program directors, and government innovation teams to turn those findings into real cross-border collaboration. A high-touch, invitation-only day in San Francisco: Private welcome reception — relationships start over the table, not the stage. A full day of facilitated peer discussions on the challenges every ecosystem shares. Each ecosystem showcases their program to Silicon Valley executives, investors and expert mentors. A curated networking reception designed to continue long after the Summit ends. This is the founding gathering of what becomes an annual convening of the people building the world's startup bridges.
