Unlocking Europe's unicorn potential: fostering growth from startup to scale-up

Cosa trovi nel programma

The Global Unicorn Program mission is to play a critically important role in building a global ecosystem for fostering a new generation of unicorns with a renewed and enhanced emphasis on global responsibility, social purpose and long-term perspective. The Global Unicorn Program, a joint initiative by CKGSB and SDA Bocconi School of Management, also focuses on forming a new partnership among governments, international organizations, NGOs, civil society and the private sector to achieve entrepreneurial and economic Resilience. This program aims to unlock Europe’s Unicorn Potential, empowering VC, PE and Entrepreneurs to master growth from Startup to Scale-up in the FFF (Food, Fashion, and Furniture) and FS (Financial Services) Tech Sectors. It also helps participants understand the trends in these markets, fine-tune their strategies, and grasp opportunities among the growing cohort of technology- driven markets.
