About the Summit — Building Europe's Pipeline to Global Capital Markets
The Europe SPAC Summit is a premier invitation-only, one-day conference for private growth companies, SPAC sponsors, institutional investors, European corporate leaders, and the advisors driving the next generation of cross-border capital markets transactions.
The European de-SPAC renaissance is underway. Kyivstar* — Ukraine's largest mobile operator and a keynote speaker — listed on Nasdaq via SPAC and trades above $14 per share. IQM*, Terra Quantum*, Pasqal, OpenPayd*, Einride, Trasteel*, Veraxa Biotech, and a wave of announced and closed transactions demonstrate that the SPAC structure works for European companies across a range of sectors seeking access to US capital. The Ukraine reconstruction pipeline, EU defense tech build-up, life science, energy security, and deep tech sectors — quantum computing, AI, clean energy — represent a growing and credible deal flow that demands a dedicated forum. (*confirmed speakers)
This is that forum.
The Europe SPAC Summit provides an intimate, deal-focused venue for frank conversations and fruitful negotiations: invitation-only, featuring true expert practitioners, case studies of successful transactions, and unvarnished advice on traps to avoid.
Europe’s next generation of growth leaders and disruptors deserve to trade on the deepest capital markets in the world, and the SPAC offers a viable path to get there.
