The Europas European Tech Startups Awards has become an annual celebration of Europe’s hottest tech companies. From its humble beginnings in a small bar in central London by our own Mike Butcher in 2009, The Europas has grown into a major media event and a gathering of the key startup players in Europe. It’s an independent, editorially-driven awards show, judged by respected members of the startup and investor community.
This year, TechCrunch be the exclusive media sponsor for The Europas. It’s a natural collaboration given Mike Butcher’s role at TechCrunch and it’s also a great way to warm up for TechCrunch’s forthcoming Disrupt Europe. Europas Attendees will automatically receive deep discounts on Disrupt Europe tickets among other goodies.
The Europas celebrate the most forward-thinking and innovative tech companies across some 20+ categories. Startups can apply for an award or be nominated by a third party. A judging panel selects a shortlist of nominees, which is followed by public peer voting, and finally the judges pick the winners, who Mike Butcher announces in a glittering evening of awards.
Prior to the finale, The Europas stages a daytime “unconference,” with relaxed networking and intimate topic sessions.
This year, The Europas is adding a parallel event, PathFounders, designed to bring early stage Founders together with Investors. The Europas Awards will bring together 150 of Europe’s hottest early-stage Founders, together with Europe’s best VCs and Angel Investors. Tickets to PathFounders will open up at a later stage and available as an “upgrade” for those already attending the Europas.
The Europas is a Who’s Who of Europe’s most exciting and innovative startups, investors, media and more. Previous winners have included Soundcloud, Mind Candy and King.com.
You can apply for this invitation-only event by filling out this form. Payment information will be sent accompanying your invitation.
For a limited period, The Europas is offering a small number of extra ‘early bird tickets’ at the rate of £295+VAT for Founders, or £495+VAT for service providers and investors.
