Accessing European and USA Ecosystems and markets through Strasbourg and Boston

Welcome

The Boston-Strasbourg Innovation Initiative aims at elevating the existing sister-city relationship between the two cities. This is achieved by adding a business and economic focus to help entrepreneurs bring innovations that matter to new markets more effectively, and to power up each ecosystem to continuously drive innovation excellence.

In April 2020, a group of 15 Boston organizations, startups CEOs looking to expand to the French and broader European regions, investors, ecosystem leaders and corporate executives will be exploring and evaluating market entry and investment opportunities in Strasbourg.

Later in the year, a group of 15-20 Strasbourg ecosystem leaders, companies, local business angels and corporates will explore Boston for similar opportunities.
