Autumn is around the corner and it brings exciting news for Europe’s startup ecosystem – the Sifted Summit is heading to London on October 5-6. It will give the floor to 1,500 startup founders, operators and investors to showcase their path to success and talk about what’s next!

Taking place at the Magazine London, this year’s Summit will gather together inspiring expert speakers, including startup founders, investors, and top executives from all across Europe, who will share their personal stories and offer first-hand advice on how to successfully grow a business. There’s more – the event will also feature podcast recordings, deep dive workshops and roundtables, an expo floor, and numerous in-person networking opportunities.

Startup founders will have the opportunity to push their buttons on how to make their mission more sustainable, and meet key ecosystem players and investors who can help their ideas grow more efficiently.
