Innovation Session: The Path to Becoming a Unicorn Startup. How to scale?
What are the key levers for startup scalability?
When can a startup be defined as a unicorn?
Becoming a unicorn startup is not just about rapid growth, but about strategic vision, excellent execution, and the ability to scale sustainably. It requires making the right decisions at the right time, balancing speed with structure, and building a solid foundation for long-term success.
During this Innovation Session, part of the “Am I an Innovator?” program, we will explore the journey from idea to scalability: from the early stages of business model validation to international scaling. Through real-world case studies, insights, and best practices, we will analyze the fundamental drivers of growth.
A unique opportunity for those who want to understand what differentiates a high-potential startup from a true unicorn, and how to tackle the challenges of growth in increasingly competitive markets.
