Join us for an exclusive VivaTech Startup Meetup with La French Tech Amsterdam and Prosus, for an evening of knowledge-sharing, networking, and real scaling stories from founders who've done it across Europe.
European Playbook: Scaling European Tech Leaders
Scaling across Europe takes more than capital — it requires strong ecosystems, strategic partnerships, and the ability to navigate complexity.
In a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by AI, infrastructure shifts, and regulatory fragmentation, Europe’s most ambitious startups must go beyond geographic expansion. They must build durable champions capable of competing globally.
This session explores what scaling across Europe truly looks like today — the opportunities, the structural challenges, and what needs to change.
