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, Founder of Quanthym
Radosław Dobrołęcki, Local Investor and Entrepreneur
Chelsea Thomas, Executive Director of the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT)
Additional speakers to be announced
What to expect
· A candid panel discussion on how regulatory friction reduces capital flow, creates higher market barriers, and limits global scale
· Practical insights from local founders and investors who have successfully navigated complex regulatory systems to scale across European and international borders
· 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.
