Silicon Luxembourg is thrilled to announce that the Silicon Drinkabout, a new type of startup event, is coming to Luxembourg!
Originally founded by Mind Candy and run by 3beards across the globe, Silicon Drinkabout is a different type of event that gathers entrepreneurs of all size and caliber in an informal setting for a fun and relaxing evening of mingling with drinks in hand.
There are no gimmicks or hidden agendas! This event is simply a way for all those interested in entrepreneurship to meet up, discuss ideas and just hang out. We are certain that this will help foster more camaraderie among the growing startup ecosystem in Luxembourg!
Four entrepreneurs are joining forces and networks to bring this concept in Luxembourg: Ivaylo Piskov (Bulgaria), Marija Spokaite (Lithuania), David Bernstein (US) and Charles-Louis Machuron (France).
Join @DrinkaboutLUX for our pilot event on June 13th, 18:30 at Seppl. Your first beer is on us! Register here http://t.co/UOnreDLWNM

Here is what they have to say about the initiative:
“A while back, when Ivo came to me with this idea, I immediately thought it was the right networking event to set up for entrepreneurs in Luxembourg. Since the launch of Silicon Luxembourg last October, we really try to gather all the entrepreneurs together each month as part of various events, like Talk Shows, Breakfast & Learn Sessions and Matchmaking Events. The Silicon Drinkabout concept is a new friendly way for all people interested in startups to connect in Luxembourg. It was also a great opportunity to keep building up Luxembourg’s startup ecosystem as one of the coolest in the world.”
– Charles-Louis Machuron, Founder of Silicon Luxembourg
“The startup community in Luxembourg is rapidly growing, and I believe Silicon Drinkabout will only help it continue to expand. I also think that this type of laid back event with be beneficial in improving camaraderie and communication among all entrepreneurs in Luxembourg. I’m excited to be an organizer and to see where it goes!”
– Dave Bernstein, Business Development & Innovation Manager at Silicon Luxembourg
“Startup community in Luxembourg has become more dynamic, bigger and united over the past year and I think it’s time to have even more fun together and organise our own Friday drinks. Let’s get the startup party started in Luxembourg!”
– Marija Spokaite, Founder of The Potion Makers
“I’m relatively new to Luxembourg’s startup scene but have tons of experience in introducing and carrying out best practices programs in startup and SME ecosystems. After spending a few months studying the existing local startup ecosystem, I realized that there are many opportunities to assist in building up and adding value to the Luxembourg startup community. So, I approached Charles-Louis to share some of my ideas, and he was enthusiastic! Together with Charles-Louis, Dave and Marija, we create the “dream team” that is excited to launch SiliconDrinkabout Luxembourg. Bringing young entrepreneurs together in a relaxed atmosphere with a beer in hand – no better way to bring out creativity, unlock networking potential, meet like-minded people and relax after a busy week!”
– Ivo Piskov, Managing Partner of Mentor Coach Partners
