Seedstars World just sent me a list of 19 emerging markets startups that have won its competitions around the world. The Geneva-based company holds competitions for startups; the competitions culminate in an innovation conference in February in Switzerland. Seedstars World is affiliated with Seedstars, a venture firm. All the companies that make it through the global competitions — this year, there will probably be about 35 companies — and receive an invitation to the conference, get exposure to European and U.S. financiers. The overall winner gets a $500,000 investment from Seedstars.
