COMEUP STARS
Global startup festival COMEUP is looking for the next COMEUP Stars ready to go global.
COMEUP Stars is a global expansion program for promising startups aiming to enter and grow in international markets across the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, Singapore, and India.
Last year, COMEUP Stars was transformed into an outbound global program, creating opportunities for startups to experience new markets and expand their global networks through connections with international investors, corporations, and local ecosystems.
This year, COMEUP Stars expands its reach to Singapore and India, offering market-specific mentoring, business matching with global VCs, corporations, and institutions, as well as local networking programs tailored to each market and ecosystem. Through these programs, startups can build meaningful relationships and gain direct access to global opportunities.
Build your global connections with COMEUP Stars.
