The ESIL Annual Event: Angels and Deeptech – Catalysing Europe’s Innovation Actors (2-3 December 2025) stands as a flagship gathering where visionary business angels, cutting-edge deep tech startups, influential policymakers, and innovation leaders converge to reshape the future of early-stage financing. The event showcases interactive breakout workshops, high-level panel discussions, and exclusive networking opportunities that address Europe’s most pressing innovation challenges. Key themes include nurturing the next generation of business angels, developing pan-European investment frameworks, advancing deep tech engagement strategies, and building inclusive innovation ecosystems that drive sustainable growth.

Europe’s innovation ecosystem faces a critical inflection point. While startup activity surges across European cities, the continent still lags behind the United States in angel investment and crowdfunding. ESIL addresses this gap by building standardized cross-border frameworks, providing harmonized legal templates, and organising e-pitch events to connect innovators and investors.
