iBRIDGES

iBRIDGES is a non-profit global movement for accelerating the innovation economy in Iran through education of high tech entrepreneurship. iBRIDGE Berlin will bring together American, European and MENA entrepreneurs with their counterparts from Iran to explore the role that a high tech entrepreneurial ecosystem can play in Iran’s economic development and diversification. The event will be comprised of keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, Pitch Fests, and mixers, as well as visits to local incubators in Berlin. iBRIDGE Berlin has brought 1100+ attendees from 35 countries for three days with more than 150 speakers and 90+ sessions and it was watched with more than 3000 people through live streaming. iBRIDGE Berlin is a sequel to iBRIDGE Berkeley, the innovative conference held at the University of California, Berkeley on Sept. 6, 2014. This sold-out event had 700+ attendees and 1,000 viewers via live stream (see www.iBRIDGES.org for details and video highlights). The iBRIDGE mission pre-sanctions relief is to conduct events and accelerators for high tech entrepreneurship education in Iran; post-sanctions relief, we will seek to accelerate growth of the innovation economy and ecosystems in Iran.
