Main Programme

28th Regime

We want to present an opportunity for you to voice your ideas on what should be included in the 28th regime, what should be taken out. What do you think is needed for this programme to be useful for you and your organisation?

Europe’s Pension Funds Investing with VCs and Angels in Startups

In Europe we lack the regulations and also the incentives to drive more risk taking by institutional investors. Do you think its possible for the EU to create the conditions to providing European VCs with the funding and ease of fundraising conditions we are lacking?

Public-Private Partnerships to advance Europe’s competitiveness in key technology areas: AI, Space and Defencetech

Discover the latest EU level investment plans and regulations on key technology areas such as AI, SpaceTech and DefenceTech, as well as discuss new models for public-private partnerships that leverage startups and venture capital investors. How do you think Europe can catch up and become a leader in this domain also from an innovation perspective?

Cross Border Angel Investments and Why they Really Matter

Cross border investments are considered an enabler for startups to grow and scaleup in the EU. What are your experiences in investing in international startups located in multiple geographies and who are expanding their presence into new markets?

Going beyond the co-investment models of the past

The Summit aims to inspire new EU wide co-investment schemes targeting business angels, leveraging the best practices we have observed across the Member States. Have you been taking advantage of these schemes to help your startup investments?
