On 28-29 October, Brussels hosts the European Angel Investment Summit 2025, a well-anticipated gathering of investors, VCs, founders, entrepreneurs, and EU policymakers to discuss a stronger innovation ecosystem.

This year’s edition features keynotes from EU Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva, EIF Deputy Chief Executive Merete Clausen, as well as other speakers about AI, space & defence, growing angel networks, and EU policies to boost investment and better support startups.
