Startup Istanbul, organized by Etohum, a leading accelerator and seed investor organization in Turkey, will bring together 4000+ attendees, 500+ startups, 500+ VCs & Angel Investors, 50+ Speakers from all over the world. Already in previous events, startups from Morocco Algeria, Libya, Egypt have participated.

If you’re a startup from Ghana or based in Ghana that wants in on such an opportunity, don’t overlook this one. The event boasts of a tall list of prestigious companies you’d want to be in the same space with.
