Future of VC: The AI Impact
Plug and Play and N26, with the support of Earlybird, are delighted to host a curated gathering during SuperReturn Berlin at the N26 HQ, just ahead of the final evening events.
This is intentionally not a typical LP/GP side event.
We are bringing together a highly curated mix of the people actually shaping the future of the European innovation ecosystem: leading investors, major corporates and their investment arms, government decision makers, research institutions, universities, standout founders, and global capital allocators.
The goal is simple: create the kind of cross-ecosystem conversations that rarely happen in one room, but are increasingly necessary to build and scale globally relevant companies in the AI era.
The evening reflects how we believe innovation truly scales: through ecosystem density, strategic partnerships, and long-term collaboration between capital, industry, academia, and founders.
Attendance is strictly curated and approved individually. We aim to maintain a high-signal room of decision makers and ecosystem contributors across venture, technology and institutional innovation.
To maximise meaningful interactions, we are intentionally keeping the content portion concise and networking-focused.
