The Future Belongs to Those Who Scale – But at What Cost?

The Startup World Stage at Building The Future 2025 is where bold conversations meet real challenges. This year, we tackle the critical dilemmas of scaling - how to grow fast while staying responsible, competitive, and impactful. From entrepreneurship and decarbonization to AI ethics, Europe’s innovation landscape, and the realities of scaling businesses, each session will explore the trade-offs, tensions, and opportunities shaping the future of startups and scaleups.

Bringing together founders, investors, and industry leaders, we’ll uncover what it truly takes to scale with impact - and whether fast growth and responsibility can go hand in hand.

This event will be broadcast in English.
