Event Description

Europe has no shortage of capital, but too often it struggles to back bold, world-changing bets at scale. As global competition intensifies, the question is whether European VCs are optimising for safety instead of ambition, and what that means for the continent’s future champions. This session brings together leading investors to debate risk appetite, capital allocation and what it will take to build globally competitive tech companies from Europe.
