Expert Support

On Thursday, July 3, 2025, ImpactCity is hosting a new edition of Expert Support, formerly known as Startup Support XL. This interactive morning programme brings together promising impact-driven entrepreneurs and experienced experts from the ImpactCity network. The goal: focused, meaningful conversations around the real challenges startups and scale-ups face.

What to expect?

Expert Support offers you the opportunity to meet with multiple experts in one morning to discuss the issues most relevant to your business. Whether you need advice on funding, legal matters, marketing, international growth, team building or another strategic topic — this is your chance to get tailored guidance. 

We’ll collect your questions beforehand and match you with the most relevant experts. Based on your input, you’ll be scheduled for up to five one-on-one sessions of 25 minutes each, allowing you to make the most of every conversation.
