European startup market is one of the leading in the world which raised, despite the global decline, €53.4 billion in 2023 according to Pitchbook’s report. However, Central and Eastern Europe still remains mostly an unacknowledged region, despite its constant growth and successes. At the same time, there is a very limited amount of available verified and regularized information on the CEE tech scene in English. In this text, AIN.Capital is committed to filling the gap with tech events in the CEE region.
