PREVIOUSLY AT UPRISE...

Our events began in the form of the first Startup Festival in Europe (Maybe beyond) in 2015. We built and funded an Amsterdam one-day event to help startup companies in the Netherlands connect with talent in a free to attend, event. That Thursday on the 26th of March drew near 4,000 attendees in 8 hours. Our event used wooden pallets for exhibition stands and food trucks nestled into Roest in Amsterdam. We didn't have any wifi and didn't want to adopt the speaker format. We focused solely on Startup tech companies and hour-long workshops.

In the following years, we hosted 8 Tech Festivals in Amsterdam and Dublin, Ireland. In 2018 we took a break and now we return as something very different.

We are at a crisis point. Our negative impact on this planet has to lead to a climate emergency. We cannot ignore this and we strongly believe everyone needs to take personal responsibility to help in whatever way they can. It's time to rise up for our home.

At UPRISE we feel we can bring together the most cutting edge clean technology companies building solutions at one point and time to feed a sense of hope and galvanise support for these companies who want to impact their environment for the good of society.

This event is to point a light at what is being done from a business point of view, showcase leaders in this industry and identify what is yet to be done from governments to individuals.
