The organization, the companies presenting, the investors present, the venues everything was absolutely top of the line! I have participated in several events where companies present to investors and I find it hard to think of one that surpased the Tech Tour. For us it was a real honor to take part in it. We´ve made some very valuable contacts, I feel confident that this event will contribute towards pushing Sustainable Reference forward in a tangible way.

There are far more early-stage technology ventures than I expected underway in Southern Europe. I think the Spanish and Italian technology markets are maturing and will in the future be exciting areas for venture investment.

It was a pleasure to host one day of the Southern Europe TT. The quality of the entrepreneurs who presented their companies and the interest shown by the investors made the event very profitable for all who participate here. These types of events are crucial for the growth and development of technology based companies. So I encourage the organisers to keep on with Tech tours around Europe in the near future.

- Ignacio Correas, Zentyal, CEO, Spain

The Southern Europe Tech Tour is the most efficient way for an investor to learn about the local technology start-up ecosystems in Spain, Italy and beyond, as well as seeing the most promising local companies. As with any Tech Tour, the networking with entrepreneurs, venture capital peers, and local movers and shakers, was unsurpassed in uncovering additional business opportunities and providing a foundation for future deal-making in the region.

Great locations, Real opportunities, Exciting people.
