Press Kit

Ϟ Our name
Yes, our name – sTARTUp Day. Over the years, we have seen spellings like Startupday, Startup Day, or StartUpDay, but that’s not quite right. Tartu is the only city in the world that is included in the word "sTARTUp". We love it and want everyone else to see it!

Ϟ Press photos
You can freely use the photos taken by photographers at the event if you credit the photographers and mention the name of the event. 

You can find a selection of photos from sTARTUp Day 2023 here.

If possible, please tag @startupdayfest and use our festival hashtag #startupdayfest when sharing your stories on social media.
