Our expert lineup includes startup founders and VC leaders who will share their insights on the evolving European startup ecosystem, key trends shaping innovation, and crucial takeaways for those looking to invest or participate in this dynamic region.
The agenda is packed with thought-provoking sessions that delve into the most pressing issues facing the industry. You won’t want to miss John Tsioris’ keynote as he shares founder insights on the continent’s next wave of startups alongside Panos Papadopoulos, an esteemed investor who will provide valuable perspective from both sides.
We also have Simon Schaefer, Founder and Co-Initiator at Factory and The EU-Inc Petition, discussing what European founders need to know about the rapidly shifting regulatory landscape. No one better to share this critical information than Simon, as he has a deep understanding of the intersection of innovation and policy.
Additionally, Dimitrios Kottas and Haris Pylarinos will take the stage to reveal the essential secrets for scaling globally from Europe. These two successful founders have built companies that have broken through the noise and are now leaders in their respective spaces.
This event is a unique opportunity to engage with the most innovative minds shaping European tech, and gain valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Don’t miss this chance to connect with the people who matter – register now!
