Investing in CEE : what’s hot, what’s not. Where will smart money go in 2027?

The CEE’s startup scene is shifting fast, AI is no longer a board meeting buzzword, and the biggest opportunities may not be where investors are looking today. Which newcomers are gaining serious momentum? Which markets are about to take off? And where are the overlooked companies, sectors, and trends that could define the region’s next growth cycle?

Top-tier local investors will take a look at the moves shaping the CEE investment landscape in 2026, in order to move away from hype to efficiency, and look ahead at where the region’s next breakout opportunities, and risks, are likely to emerge.

15:25 – 15:50

Follow the money: LP views on how should European VCs adapt to market changes

Competition for capital is intensifying. AI, deep tech and rapid technological shifts are reshaping not only venture opportunities but also where top-tier capital is deployed and at what pace. Institutional investors, venture funds and emerging investment models are all adapting to a market where conviction, selectivity and speed matter more than ever.

This panel brings together senior representatives from leading organisations shaping European venture capital and the flow of institutional capital. We’ll examine where LPs see the biggest opportunities and gaps across the European investment ecosystem in 2026, how much capital is available to fund managers, where it is moving, and what could change next. This offers a candid look at the LP perspective on today’s venture market: where capital is going, what is attracting conviction, and what fund managers should expect in the next phase of the cycle.

15:50 – 16:10

Two decades of CEE Venture: outliers from then, now & tomorrow

Bridging his vast law practice experience helping European startups and YC, 500 Startups and Techstars alumni scaling and fundraising into Silicon Valley, Tytus Cytowski will lead a fireside conversation with Ondrej Bartos, one of the founding forces behind Credo Ventures and one of CEE’s most successful and enduring venture investors.

With a portfolio that includes many of the region’s breakout companies, Ondrej has a front-row view of what it takes to identify outliers, build conviction early, and turn CEE companies into global winners. As Credo enters a new chapter, the conversation will go beyond the success stories: What really worked? What did they get wrong? What are the hardest lessons from decades of investing in CEE? And where does the region’s venture ecosystem go from here?

An open conversation about building a generational venture track record, the lessons behind it, and what the next generation of CEE investors can learn from it.

17:00 – 18:00
