Tech Happy Hours 2026
Tech Happy Hours is back for its third edition.
On October 20, 2026, founders, investors, corporate leaders and people building the Czech and Central European tech ecosystem will meet at OX Club Prague for one packed day during Czech Startup Week.
The programme starts in the morning with Technology Incubation #DemoDay, showcasing startups from the CzechInvest Technology Incubation ecosystem. Tech Happy Hours doors open at 12:30, followed by keynotes and main-stage discussions from 13:30.
This year’s programme goes straight into the topics shaping European tech and entrepreneurship right now:
Future of Fintech
Company of Founder Heroes
DefenceTech on the Frontier of Europe
Cooperation Across Continents
Pitch & Cheers — International Startup Competition
And the programme doesn’t end when the stage closes. Networking starts at 17:45, followed by the Happy Hours Afterparty from 19:00.
Come for the people you want to meet, the companies you want to discover and the conversations that are difficult to recreate in another room.
The detailed agenda, speakers and latest programme updates are always available at techhappyhours.com.
