When thinking about where to find the best tech startups, one might naturally consider booking a flight to Silicon Valley, exploring Berlin’s startup scene, or visiting London.
At LingoHub, we believe that great ideas are created all around the world—not only in these well-known hubs. This is where Seedstars World comes in.
“Building up a truly international network of entrepreneurs from various spots around the globe.” This idea, conceived by Alisée de Tonnac and Pierre-Alain Masson, led to the foundation of Seedstars World, an exclusive global competition for startups from fast-growing economies.
This proved to be the right decision. According to TechCrunch, Seedstars World was named one of “The Best European Events for Startups in 2014”.
True to its mission—“Discover startups from emerging countries”—Seedstars World travels the world to identify the best startups. Promoting innovation in technology, web, and mobile remains one of its core goals.
Seedstars World: Unifying the Spirit of Innovation
Across more than 50 events in regions including Asia, Africa, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), 50 regional winners are selected.
These entrepreneurs compete in the final event held in Lausanne in March 2016. After pitching their products and ideas, the winner is chosen by a jury of investors and entrepreneurs from leading ventures.

The final event will be hosted at the SwissTech Convention Centre at EPFL. Within this event, startups from emerging hubs will take part in breakout sessions, panel discussions, and specialized workshops led by top speakers. Participants will also connect with other innovative startups and compete for equity investment of up to $1.5 million.

LingoHub and Seedstars World – a Perfect Match
Alisée de Tonnac once described Seedstars World as the business “Olympics”, a space where LingoHub is eager to contribute.
Both Seedstars World and LingoHub are driven by startup culture and innovation. At LingoHub, we consider ourselves globalization geeks—we love helping ambitious companies internationalize their products through high-quality localization.
That is why we are proud to be a partner of Seedstars World, supporting the competition as a prize partner. Winners of more than 50 local events receive a special package created exclusively for them.
We also invite all participants to try LingoHub with a one-month free trial. In addition, we offer a 50% discount for 3 months to the first 50 sign-ups among the 600 startups selected for the Seedstars World competition.
