Europe’s most anticipated tech gathering is just days away, and the full agenda is finally here. The Tech.eu Summit London 2026 promises two packed days of real conversations on AI, fintech, deeptech and climate tech at one of London’s most iconic venues.
What Is Happening at the Summit This April
The Tech.eu Summit London 2026 takes place on 21 and 22 April at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London. This is not just another tech conference. It brings together some of the sharpest minds in European technology, including founders, investors and executives from organisations like OpenAI, Morgan Stanley, Mastercard, NATO Innovation Fund, Notion Capital and the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.
The summit is built around one core idea: moving past the hype and getting into the real decisions that are shaping European tech right now.
Tech.eu Summit London 2026 Queen Elizabeth II Centre agenda
The Big Topics Driving the Agenda
Four major themes anchor the two-day programme.
- Artificial Intelligence – from early-stage competition to enterprise transformation
- Fintech – why Europe is one of the hardest yet most defensible markets to scale in
- Deeptech and Climate Tech – how these companies are built and funded at scale
- Capital Markets – Europe’s role in supporting the next wave of tech growth
Day one kicks off with a fireside chat on where real value is being created in the AI stack today. Wulfie Bain, International Applied AI Lead for Startups at OpenAI, joins Payton Dobbs of Hoxton Ventures to cut through the noise and focus on where builders are actually seeing commercial traction in 2026.
Sessions across day one also tackle AI’s move into physical industries, its role in reshaping enterprise software, and the very real challenge of early-stage AI startups competing against giants with far deeper pockets.
The investment-focused panel on day one brings Sanghamitra Karra, Global Co-Head of Inclusive and Sustainable Ventures at Morgan Stanley, into the conversation on climate and deeptech financing. It is a session that connects the dots between impact investing, healthcare and the environment at a time when capital allocation in these sectors is becoming increasingly strategic.
Day one closes with a sharp debate on whether Europe can genuinely win the AI race, featuring Kamil Mieczakowski, General Partner at Notion Capital, alongside voices from venture capital and regulatory advocacy.
Day Two Goes Deeper on Regulation and the Future of AI Commerce
Day two opens with a fresh look at the UK fintech landscape, followed by a session on AI’s growing role in healthtech. Axel Kalinowski from the London Stock Exchange Group then takes the stage solo to address Europe’s capital markets and what they need to do to keep pace with tech ambition on the continent.
Jessica Lennard, Chief Strategy and External Affairs Officer at the Competition and Markets Authority, will discuss competition as a driver of scaling. In a year where AI regulation is at the centre of every policy debate across Europe, this session sets the tone for the afternoon.
The afternoon turns to one of the most forward-looking topics on the agenda: agentic commerce. This is the moment when AI does not just assist with transactions but begins making them autonomously.
“What happens when AI starts transacting on your behalf?” That is the question Alexandra Edmonds, Vice President of Emerging Fin Tech and Agentic AI at Mastercard, will bring to the stage.
The summit wraps up with a closing panel on deeptech founders scaling across Europe in areas like quantum computing, autonomous systems and AI hardware. These are industries that require patience, deep capital and long-term conviction, and this session promises to be one of the most grounded conversations of the two days.
How Attendees Can Make the Most of Both Days
The Tech.eu Summit London 2026 is designed so that the conversations do not stop when a session ends. Through the Tech.eu Events App, available on both the App Store and Google Play, attendees can:
- Connect with other participants before and during the event
- Schedule one-on-one meetings in advance
- Get live updates and schedule changes in real time
This kind of structured networking is increasingly rare at large conferences. The app gives attendees real tools to make their time count, not just collect business cards.
Last Chance tickets are still available for the summit, but time is running short. The doors open at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in just days, and this is the final window to secure a spot.
For anyone working in or around European technology, this is the room to be in this April. The speakers are serious, the topics are urgent and the conversations are designed to go beyond surface level. Whether you are a founder deciding your next move, an investor watching where the market is heading or a professional trying to understand how AI is changing your industry, the Tech.eu Summit London 2026 has something that matters to you.
