What is the EBAN Congress?

The EBAN Congress brings together Europe’s leading angel investors, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs to share their knowledge, experiences, and create opportunities for collaboration.

With over 25 iterations in different countries, each event highlights the ecosystem it is hosted in. In turn this gives members new opportunities to discover new regions and the startups that reside in them. This year we are heading to Vilnius, bringing together its ever expanding industries of sustainable solutions and generation defining innovations.
