JULY 20 - 26

Elevating Entrepreneurship at Sevan Startup Summit 2025

In the attractive setting near Lake Sevan, Sevan Startup Summit 2025 returns for its seventh year as the region’s largest annual gathering for startup growth. This open-air, campsite-based event brings together founders, investors, and startup enthusiasts for a week of connection and collaboration. Unlike traditional conferences, SSS offers a relaxed, informal setting where conversations happen around campfires and business deals are made under the stars. At the heart of this experience is a micro-acceleration program designed to help early-stage startups move forward. More than just an event, SSS25 serves as a practical platform for investment and partnership. Join us in the last week of July to be part of the next chapter.
