Hi,

I'm York Zucchi.

Welcome!

The background

In a career spanning 33 years across over 11 countries, creating projects & businesses that have impacted people's lives in over 83 countries, I'm one of the luckiest people I know: doing what I love most, which is making a difference in the lives of startups, entrepreneurs and SMEs everywhere. 

I am passionate about leaving the world in a better state than we found it in and to this end I am involved in a number of global initiatives in the space of  Access to Markets, SME ecosystems, Entrepreneurship and - lately - Blockchain for SMEs.

This site is designed to give an overview of the various projects as well details to get involved. I am a great believer in the power of collaboration so feel free to reach out!

My core focus is...

The StartUp Tribe

 An initiative that works with 421 cities and organisations across the world to help cities support the creation and growth of small businesses.

Example:        capetown.thestaruptribe.org

The 1583 Sustainability Academy

An online academy that cities use in Italy to help residents change their ways towards a more sustainable lifestyle

Example: roma.1583.eu

World Class Cities

A project aimed at helping cities learn from other cities and experts about what works and what doesn't to improve the quality of life of their residents.
