How does the coronavirus affect Kiuas programs?

All our future Start and Accelerator programs will be organized regardless of the COVID-19 situation.

Kiuas programs in 2020 have all been fully virtual, and the feedback has been superb. We will continue to organize our programs remotely until further notice.
