With spring on the horizon, and diaries filling up, we wanted to share a few details about tech and venture capital events we’re particularly excited about. By no means a comprehensive list, but a selection of the ones not to miss in the coming months from us and our partners – and we hope to see you there!
START Summit, 23 – 24 March
Start Summit is a student-run conference, held in St. Gallen, Switzerland with a mission to connect students from some of the top business schools in Europe with leaders in the startup ecosystem. Attracting some of Europe’s leading investors and founders, this year’s line-up includes speakers from Index Ventures, Speedinvest, La Famiglia, Duolingo and wefox.
Cambridge Tech Week, 9 – 12 May
The first ever Cambridge Tech Week will be taking place 9-12 May this year, and FieldHouse Associates is delighted to be partnering with the team at CW (Cambridge Wireless Ltd), led by Ann Fisher, to bring this exciting event to the Cambridge ecosystem.
The theme for the first event is ‘Finding the Future’, celebrating the deeptech that #Cambridge is world renowned for – including AI, semiconductors and quantum technologies.
Tech.eu Summit, 24 May
After the success of the first Tech.eu Summit last year, this year’s event promises to be bigger and better! Held once again at the Brussels Expo, the Summit will bring together over 1,800 entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders and policy makers.
You can expect high calibre content, curated by Founding Editor Robin Wauters themed around ‘sustainable growth’, and plenty of opportunities to network with peers from the European community between panel sessions.

SuperVenture, 5 – 7 June
If you work in, or invest in, #venturecapital, there’s no question you should be there as it’s one of the key LP/VC relations events of the year. SuperVenture gives you three days full of insight and networking focused on VC and LP perspectives. Explore valuations and LP allocations – and the latest insights on integrating ESG and making impactful investments. It’s all about getting to grips with the latest trends, opportunities and challenges, while make lasting connections with industry peers.
