From Local to Global; Celebrating 5 Years of the Startup Summit

Bruce Walker, Founder & CEO - WeAreTheFuture

August 8, 2016

Five years ago, in a high school classroom we dreamed up WeAreTheFuture as a vehicle to help aspiring entrepreneurs. 

Half a decade later, following an adventure across 15 Cities on 3 Continents, hosting summits and programmes for nearly 5,000 entrepreneurs, we’re returning to Edinburgh this November for our biggest summit ever.

On the 14th November in the heart of Scotland’s Capital City, we’re celebrating 5 years of the Startup Summit (SUS16) and expect over 1,000 entrepreneurs to attend, with an incredible 20,000 watching online through out partnership with the Disruptive Innovation Festival (DIF).

We’re putting our global network to good use and bringing entrepreneurs,investors and media from all over the world for our biggest summit yet. Speakers are flying in from San Francisco, London and Hong Kong, with some of the UK’s top investors committing 14th November to their diaries.

Edinburgh is the ideal city to host SUS16, with its thriving entrepreneurial eco-system, diverse industry landscape and key support that drives entrepreneurship forward.

We’re bringing all of the entrepreneurial eco-system together at SUS16, from inspiring entrepreneurs, to all the support you need to start and grow your business.
