It is an international event that takes place in over 100 countries around the world and is attended by thousands of innovators, company representatives, investors and other interested parties from the world of entrepreneurship and the media. GITR was founded with the aim of providing support to numerous startups in the realization of their projects in such a way as to provide them with the possibility of direct contact with investors and experts in order to help them solve the problems they face, especially in the field of financing, product development and business, and marketing.
