Warsaw Tech Forum 🍻🗣️
​As the Developed: EU Tour continues, ACT is bringing  founders, investors, and policy experts together in Warsaw for an evening of networking and timely discussions around what it takes to build a startup and scale across borders.
​As EU competition rules, AI frameworks, and the 28th regime continue to evolve, startup founders are navigating real implications for capital, market access, and cross-border growth. This event will explore where regulatory friction has emerged, how companies are responding, and what policymakers need to better understand about what startups need from EU Inc.
​Speakers include:
​Gary Burtka, CEO of StarHouse Games
​Radosław Dobrołęcki, Local Investor and Entrepreneur
​Chelsea Thomas, Executive Director of the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT)
​Additional speakers  to be announced

​·      High-value networking and drinks with founders and investors from across Poland
​About Developed: EU
Developed: EU brings together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to discuss local startup realities and how EU-level decisions increasingly shape the way teams build, launch, and scale. The goal is simple: build a stronger cross-border community, discuss what’s working (and what isn’t) for tech innovators, and carry those insights and relationships from the Developed: EU Tour into broader conversations about digital policy and competitiveness in Brussels.
