European Investor Summit Offers Funding Access for Eligible Startups

The European Angel Investment Summit 2026 took place on 14–15 October, bringing early-stage businesses closer to investors and potential acceleration opportunities. The programme welcomed eligible startups in areas including DefenceTech, SportsTech, DeepTech and Life Sciences, including companies established in or doing business within an EU member state. Applicants were expected to have active fundraising rounds between €150,000 and €2 million. This was the eligible funding-round range, not a guaranteed investment or cash award for participating companies.
