Global Meetup Montréal 2021
Every year, we bring together our global community of innovators for 3 days of deal making, collaborating and making memories. All winners of the competition are invited. This isn’t your average networking event. This is an entrepreneurial retreat specifically curated to make business happen. The most promising startups from over 150 countries will join an invite-only guestlist of corporate and industry partners. We bring all these solutions together in one place to leverage the power of our global network. The Global Meetup travels to a new city every year. Our host of 2021 is Montréal.
