From start-up to IPO

17 Oct - 19 Oct 2021

Session information

Keynote debate by leading entrepreneurs, managers and investors

Description

This session will address the fact that there is no one-size-fits all format for growth and will ask important questions, such as:
• Should an IPO be the end goal?
• Are strategic acquisitions a more suitable exit strategy?
• What does it take to become a unicorn?
• Why do start-ups fail?
