Europe rising

Europe is entering a pivotal phase for venture - and for limited partners, the landscape is shifting fast.

This event brings together leading GPs and institutional voices to unpack the macro forces shaping venture, how LP strategies are evolving, and where the most compelling opportunities are emerging across Europe.

Join us for a focused afternoon of insights and discussion on how LPs can position themselves for the next cycle in European venture.

Programme begins at 14:00 and ends in a seated dinner to solidify the new connections made. Learn more about the event here and explore the sessions, topics and speakers below.
