Event: Europe’s Next Tech Chapter – What Founders Need to Build and Scale Here, 29 September in Brussels
While Europe works to strengthen its competitive edge, tech founders continue to face fragmented markets, regulatory complexity, and limited access to scale-up funding, all making it harder for them to build, grow, and compete globally from within the EU.
On Tuesday 29 September 2026 in Brussels, CCIA Europe will bring together founders and tech leaders for an exclusive discussion titled ‘Europe’s Next Tech Chapter: What Founders Need to Build and Scale Here’. The event will feature a panel discussion followed by an interactive Q&A with the audience. Click here to register.
About the event
For founders, the Single Market can still feel like 27 separate markets. Different national requirements, overlapping rules, and regulatory uncertainty can complicate everyday decisions, from launching a product and entering a new market to hiring talent and attracting investment.
This latest #UnlockEUInnovation event will move beyond policy jargon and will draw founders’ first-hand experiences, discussing what would give more tech companies the opportunity not only to start here, but to stay, and succeed in Europe today – and what Brussels can do to make that journey easier. The event builds on CCIA Europe’s June discussion with DutchBasecamp in Amsterdam, where founders shared their experiences about the barriers they face.
