Beyond Borders - The Startup Conference for Scaling in Europe and Worldwide

On November 25, 2026, join Rubik Hub’s international startup conference in 📌 Milan, organized in partnership with SmartCityLab Milano and hosted at their hub. “Beyond Borders - The Startup Conference for Scaling in Europe and Worldwide” is about international growth, European innovation, and what it really takes to move from one market to many. We’re bringing together startup founders, investors, corporates, mentors, European policymakers, and international ecosystem leaders to exchange perspectives, challenge assumptions, share what actually works, and create connections that can turn into opportunities long after the event. Building on Rubik Hub’s experience supporting and scaling startups across Europe, the conference aims to strengthen the European startup ecosystem and connect local innovation with international capital, partners, and markets. If you're building, funding, supporting, or enabling startups in Europe, this is a conversation you want to be part of, not hear about afterwards. Join us!
