« Ensemble, nous faisons avancer l’écosystème. »

Aux Startup Community Awards 2025, nous n’avons pas seulement remis des prix : nous avons écouté 800 histoires, rassemblé 550 personnes et vu naître des conversations qui continuent encore aujourd’hui.

Chez ElanTech, l’impact ne se mesure pas qu’en chiffres, mais en liens créés, projets déclenchés et personnes qui trouvent leur place dans l’écosystème. ✨

La suite s’écrit maintenant. Et comme toujours, ensemble.

🎉 SCA 2025 – Startup Community Awards | December 4th
Tickets are now live!

Why We Gather.
Last year reminded us of something essential:
A community isn’t built in meeting rooms... it’s built in real moments.
The late-night calls.
The shared failures.
The courage borrowed from someone who believes in you.
The people who show up when it truly matters.
That spirit is what the Startup Community Awards exist to celebrate.
Not metrics. Not vanity.
Humans. Effort. Impact. Heart.

And now it’s your turn to help shape this year’s story.
✨ VOTE PHASE 2 !!
