After last year’s great success, our Curated Meetings are back with a new and improved format.

An evening of curated meetings connecting companies with local and international investors. This session is designed to support focused conversations and meaningful connections across sectors and stages.

Participate in a series of 20-minute, small-group meetings with 1–3 investors per session, creating space for companies to share their vision, discuss traction, and explore potential alignment. The structured rotations flow into networking to continue conversations into the evening.

For companies: Direct, structured exposure to local and international investors, with dedicated time to share your story, discuss traction, and explore potential alignment in a small-group setting that fosters dialogue. (Pick “Company registration” upon sign-up)

For investors: Efficient access to a curated group of companies through focused 20-minute meetings, enabling high-signal conversations, early insight, and meaningful relationship building in a single evening. Additional opportunities for investors will be announced closer to the Web Summit. (Pick “Investor registration” upon sign-up)

🔹 Limited capacity.
