FF North America

4-5 November 2026

For 13 years, Founders Forum North America has brought together the best of Europe’s tech community with North America’s most inspirational founders, impact-driven investors, and trailblazing thought leaders in New York City. What started as a vision for a stronger transatlantic tech community has become one of the most anticipated gatherings in the global tech calendar.

This year, the stakes are high and the conversation more urgent than ever. As capital and talent flow freely across the Atlantic at an unprecedented scale, the founders and leaders in this room are not just witnessing this shift, they’re driving it. Between thought-provoking sessions, lively debates, and intimate roundtables, FF North America creates the space for the ideas, partnerships, and decisions that shape what comes next.
