SCALE: the Startup City Alliance Europe. The alliance is an important step towards creating a connected European city to city startup ecosystem. SCALE unites European startup organisations for the benefit of startups in Europe wanting to scale.

The cities currently cooperating in the SCALE initiative are:
London, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Helsinki, Stockholm, Rome, Brussels, Oslo, Amsterdam and Lisbon.

On the 25th of May 12 startup organisations from 11 European cities came together in Amsterdam to lay the groundwork for SCALE. During this first meeting at B.Amsterdam, they discussed topics on Governmental support, Legal, Transparency & Metrics and Connect during 4 roundtables. It was the first time for so many startup organisations from European cities to come together and join forces for the benefit of startups wanting to scale.

SCALE helps establish a transparent European startup ecosystem that enables startups to scale to the various European markets. SCALE connects and fortifies the supportive structures already in place, bringing together European city governments, universities, corporates and startups. By generating engagement on a European scale we can work together to help startups make the most of the vast EU market.
