Ignite connections, spark innovation: The EU-Startups Summit 2024’s networking guide

On May 9-10, we’ll be hosting the 10th edition of our annual EU-Startups Summit! At this exclusive in-person event we’ll be showcasing many of Europe’s hottest startups and coming together to learn from some of the most successful European entrepreneurs of our time. Ready for two days of networking, inspiration and learning?

This year, we have an extra special focus on networking. With a dedicated app, spaces for connection, and opportunities to meet individuals from across the European startup ecosystem, the potential for networking is enormous. Here are some highlights you can expect:

EU-Startups Summit App

The EU-Startups Summit Networking App enables you to connect and meet with fellow participants, among which you’ll find investors, entrepreneurs, inspiring leaders and people on your same wavelength. The app is going to be your loyal companion and best friend over the two days of the EU-Startups Summit.

With it, you can interact, chat and meet with essential contacts seamlessly. Just download from the app store, set up your profile and get going (search ‘EU-Startups Summit’). It will be available two weeks before the Summit, so you can already get logged in and get going.

Once you’ve set up your profile, the advanced algorithms powered by AI suggest the profiles that are most relevant to you, helping you get to know the people who can make a difference in your entrepreneurial journey. With the matchmaking tool, you simply swipe left or right on the profiles that attract your attention and if there’s mutual interest, it’s a match! Then, you can chat directly in the app and set up face-to-face meetings. We suggest you meet at the designated networking area – you can simply book a table.

The app also provides the event programme and detailed information about all the sessions, speakers and exhibitors. You can get notifications and sync to your calendar as well.

Networking Space

Throughout the event, you will have access to a dedicated meeting area. One of these spaces is the exhibition hall, where about 60 innovative companies will have dedicated booths. Next to the exhibition hall, you’ll find a space dedicated to networking and making connections—with all the coffee or tea you could want 😉 Schedule your one-on-one sessions on the app and meet your connections at this designated area

After Hours Networking

What better way to conclude an amazing event than by enjoying the breathtaking views Malta has to offer? As things wrap up on stage, we invite you to keep the conversation flowing and join us on the rooftop from 6 PM to 10 PM on May 9, and from 5 PM to 9 PM on May 10, for some drinks, chill music, and an amazing view. These gatherings provide the perfect chance to meet new people in a more relaxed setting, explore new opportunities, and connect.
