About
The 2026 edition of the Wolves Summit, the international forum that unites start-ups, investors, and sector leaders, will take place from the 21st to the 22nd of April in Warsaw. The previous year saw 3,792 investors, 10,500 start-ups, and 32,000 participants take part from a total of 90 countries.
This year, hub.brussels, as a partner of Wolves Europe, is offering Brussels-based start-ups who are no more than nine years old to join our delegation, with a focus on the following areas: artificial intelligence, SAAS, and automation (in a range of sectors, including Fintech, Regtech, Legaltech, IoT, Industrial Tech and Medtech).
Brussels-based businesses present at the event will take part in:
- fundraising pitches (7 minutes per company) to Venture Capital Investors. Investors are both public and private, and European (including a number of Polish funds), with a number of companies and funds from outside Europe;
- B2B sessions with Polish companies in order to establish partnerships financed by European funds;
- company development workshops with international specialists.
Why take part?
Poland is the No1 European country when it comes to the amount of European funding available for developing innovation within SMEs. This funding availability has produced an ecosystem of private European (and external) investors who are ready and willing to help finance new and promising prospects in the region. This event opens the doors to non-Polish companies who want to get involved with this ecosystem.
