Alpha Wolves is about to kick off. This year the Wolves are coming together in the heart of London, at Pullman St Pancras, to bring together LPs, GPs, growth-stage companies, and professional business service providers interested in creating new connections and scaling internationally. In order to support our attendees on their journeys, our Team and Partners prepared unique, expert-led workshops that were made available free of charge to all in-person event attendees. 

Wolves Summit and Poznan Science and Technology Park (PPNT) have formed a strong community partnership through different projects and scaling support activities addressed to European startups.  Currently, Poznan Science and Technology Park (PPNT) is participating in GreenTech 2.0 project, which empowers green tech clusters to support SMEs in exploiting growth opportunities, service innovation, resource-efficient solutions, market traction, finding investments and internationalization. It is accompanied by strategic partnering between clusters and specialized eco-systems and cities resulting in a new, joint GreenTech Services 2.0 portfolio for participating clusters, including the implementation of the ClusterXchange Programme.

Wolves Summit was selected by the Polish Challenge Fund to help Moldovan innovators to scale abroad and Ukrainian businesses relocate.  The project - Connect 4 Growth - is implemented by UNDP with the financial support of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland and Polish Aid, in partnership with Moldova Innovation Technology Park - the central hub for all innovative tech businesses in Moldova. The partnership aims to boost Moldova's #innovation ecosystem and increase local startups' resilience by creating learning and networking opportunities and bringing international exposure and expertise.
