About the Tech Tour:

The Tech Tour was formed by Venture Capitalist Sven Lingjaerde in 1998. As of 2013, the Tech Tour will collaborate with International Venture Club (IVC) and Europe Unlimited on several events.

What is the format?

Geographic regions rather than single country events grouping the European countries into six regions.

How often will we visit each region?

We will visit each of the 6 regions on a 3 year rotation.

Why?

This format will extend the opportunity for entrepreneurs to meet international investors more frequently and facilitate investor access to a wider range of start-ups. It also reflects the changing VC mindset looking more and more at cross border investment opportunities.

What are the new regions?

  • Nordic TT: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Estonia
  • UK and Ireland TT: England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
  • French & Benelux TT: France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Netherlands
  • DACH TT: Germany, Austria, Switzerland
  • Southern Europe: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Croatia
  • Discovery TT: Israel, Russia (soon to include more from Eastern Europe)

    What will happen to the Vertical Summits?

    As well as the regional Tech Tours we will co-organize 3 vertical industry summits with IVC and Europe Unlimited as of 2013. These summits focus on specific industries and will be run every year:
  • IT/Web & Mobility/Cloud (Tech)
  • Medtech
  • Cleantech

    The three year calendar, beginning in 2013 will look like:

  • 2013: Russian TT, UK & Ireland TT, Tech Growth Summit, Healthcare Summit and Cleantech Summit
  • 2014: DACH TT, Nordic TT, Tech Growth Summit, Healthcare Summit and Cleantech
