START Summit - 19-20 March 2026

Embrace New Horizons

read
A word of our Managing Director START Summit

Dear builders of tomorrow, Five years ago, our world stood still. But there were builders who had the courage to look past the next quarter and imagine what the world in 2042 could look like. They asked what would happen if they went further, moved faster, and aimed bolder. When uncertainty hit, they showed resilience and built the grit to withstand shocks. With the courage to change, they chose to evolve. They refused to stand still while the world kept moving. When volatility rose, they chose to ride Europe's Next Wave capturing momentum and creating a movement that turns ideas into action and belief into build. Now it's your turn to step up. Europe has real momentum, but only if we capture the value. We can't sit back in the passenger seat. We have to take the wheel and steer. The world is changing faster than ever. Will you see it as a threat or an opportunity? If you're ready to build what's next, bring your prototypes, your questions, your term sheets, and your hardest problems. Meet partners who help you ship, back founders who bend the curve, and build companies that still matter in a decade. If you're ready to do the work, join us. Together, we can embrace new horizons. See you at START Summit
