Scoop the key insights from Founders Forum Europe 2022 as founders, investors, and inspirational thought leaders discussed the future of quantum, mobility, climate tech, fintech, and more!

What are the biggest trends shaping the future of European tech?

Our inaugural Founders Forum Europe convened 200+ trailblazing founders, investors, and corporate leaders to discuss cutting-edge topics, from the new digital economy to the transformative potential of quantum tech.

We learned about self-driving cargo drones, a new way to manage your data, the outlook for VC investment, startup factories, and the future of mobility. In 10 years, you too might travel from city to city in a floating pod, blasted through a tube at 700 miles per hour!

We heard founders share their stories of hypergrowth, raising money in a recession, taking on challenges and emerging stronger on the other side.

Plus, in a series of fast-paced startup pitches, our Rising Stars & Disruptors shared ideas with world-changing potential – from web3 infrastructure to AI face-swapping tech.

Our top speakers at FF Europe 2022 included Eric Quidenus-Wahlforss (Dance / SoundCloud), Hung Dang (y42), Julian Teicke (wefox), Linnéa Kornehed Falck (Einride), Michael Wax (Forto), Markus Pflitsch (Terra Quantum), Markus Witte (Babbel), Moritz Claussen (Cargo.One), Yoko Spirig (Ledgy), and many more!
