Leveraging Deloitte’s expertise across its functions (Strategy, Risk & Transactions Advisory, Tax & Legal, Technology & Transformation, Audit & Assurance), and its close ties with main market players, such as large corporates and investors, the ScaleUp Program aims to establish the firm as a key stakeholder in the Greek innovation ecosystem.
More specifically we aim to:
Support innovative scale-ups through networking and advisory services.
Engage clients/company leaders with innovative go-2-market solutions on the edge of business and technology.
Match start-ups and scale-ups with corporate clients to create synergies and new business opportunities.
Support the investor community with screening of deal flow and support their portfolio companies.
Further enhance the innovation ecosystem through eminence and network building activities.
The ScaleUp event is an annual meeting where Deloitte brings together scale-ups, funds and large corporations, creating opportunities for investments and engagement. Deloitte strengthens entrepreneurship and the local economy and creates added value for new businesses so that they grow sustainably, creating a positive impact.
Deloitte invests on innovation ecosystem building through sector-specific meetings that take place annually. These meetings bring together industry experts, start-ups and VC funds to create a positive impact. Deloitte organized the Travel Tech Event in December 2022 and the RetailTech Event in November 2023.
Deloitte provides valuable insights through ScaleUp Workshop Gatherings that take place annually. In June 2023, Deloitte organized an event focusing on Startups and the Path to Scaling Up introducing techniques and insights to event participants. In May 2024 it hosted the Startups’ Valuation Methodologies Workshop to provide insights into the art and science of valuing early-stage companies.
Deloitte takes great pride in supporting other ecosystem
initiatives in Greece through sponsorships, like the Tech Tour Southeast Europe event which takes place every year in Athens. Additionally, Deloitte supports the WMF Startup Competition & Conference that takes place annually in Thessaloniki.
