“The TechTour provided a great insight in the regional startup scene and offered a very good networking space for investors”

David Zimmer, Managing Director - Coparion
       
    “As an Asian investor with some exposure to European startups, the Eastern Europe Techtour was an eye opener. It gives me fresh insights into the technical talent and quality of entrepreneurs from the region and the possibility of tapping into their technical innovation for the Asian markets.”

“I would like to congratulate the whole team for the outstanding organisation of the event and the high quality of the startups which were selected. As usual, the ecosystem of VC, investors and corporates was very rich and fruitful. I have to tell you that the last group of entrepreneurs in Sofia made me dream: one was launching satellites in the air, another one was making drones and building airports... no limit with their creativity and ability to make them happen. I wish Tech Tour to keep the same quality of events.”

Pascale Xélot, Program Director Europe - IBM Cloud & Innovation
       
    “I had the opportunity to attend the Sofia leg of Eastern Europe tech tour. Besides meeting a number of promising startups from, I was struck with constructive environment that will certainly allow many other tech startups to flourish in the years ahead. I left with a desire to get involved in this space and invest in tech companies coming out of Bulgaria.  I would like to thank the sponsors of the event including Almaz Capital for their warm welcome and the team at Tech Tour for a well-organized event.”

It’s a great event and quite different from the many conferences which take place around Europe these days. It’s intimate and personal and attracts the most active funds in the space and presents them with the most compelling companies.”
