The Go European story

Our story started not in a boardroom or a grand office, but in the most unexpected of places: a lively discussion among strangers on Reddit.

At Go European, we believe in the power of local craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability. We saw an opportunity to create a space where people could easily discover high-quality European alternatives, support local businesses, and connect with like-minded individuals who value authenticity and ethical consumption.

Whether you’re a consumer looking for unique products, a business owner eager to reach a wider audience, or a volunteer passionate about making a difference, Go European is the place for you.

Join us on this journey as we continue to build a stronger, more connected Europe.

Go European is a collaborative effort powered by a dynamic group of around 60 individuals.

We’ve come together to curate and share hundreds of exceptional European products and services with the world.

Each member of our team contributes unique skills, perspectives, and experiences, creating a rich tapestry of ideas and energy. From researchers and developers to marketers and community builders, we work hand in hand to build a platform that not only highlights the best of Europe but also connects conscious consumers with forward-thinking entrepreneurs.

Our strength lies in our diversity and our shared commitment to fostering a community that values quality, transparency, and ethical consumption.

Our team

Go European would not be possible without the project's dozens of incredible volunteers.

Laura Catz

Project Head and Initiator

It has been absolutely incredible to see so many people donate their free time and skills to making this project a reality. When I joined the team, it was because I felt a touch of helplessness about the state of the world. Now I feel more connected and involved than I have in a long time.
