On 16 and 17 September 2026, Scaleup Fest will bring together around 250 founders, executives and investors in Budapest for a focused event dedicated to the growth of technology companies from Central and South-Eastern Europe.
The gathering is designed around three main themes: international expansion, fundraising and acquisitions. Its programme combines practical feedback from operators, workshops and networking sessions, with the aim of helping scaleups navigate the next stage of their development beyond their home markets.
Scaleup Fest is betting on a deliberately compact format to encourage more direct exchanges and make it easier for participants to connect with peers, investors and potential partners.
