And just like that, the EU-Startups Summit has wrapped up for another year! On May 9-10, 2024, we hosted our annual EU-Startups Summit in sunny Malta – and it was incredible! From a buzzing exhibition hall and a chatter-filled networking space to insightful keynotes and exciting pitches, this year’s Summit brought plenty of opportunities to learn, get inspired, and connect with new and familiar faces. In total, we gathered around 2,000 founders, startup enthusiasts, and investors during the 2-day event.
This year, we were amazed to receive almost 1,500 applications from inspiring startups. After a thorough evaluation process, we selected 15 finalists. These startups didn’t come to play, but there can only be one winner: Resourcly, who took home the grand prize package worth over €390K
We also had a busy exhibition hall, a popular space for our attendees to find out more about exciting new startups and innovations that hosted over 50 businesses. The full list of exhibitors can be found here.
Thank you again for joining us at this year’s EU-Startups Summit. We hope you had a great time at the event, learned something new, got inspired, and made many new connections! Here are over 300 of the best pictures from both days of the event:
