​ESCP Founders Summer Lab

​Where Europe's next founders meet opportunities!

​Join an exclusive, high-energy, 2-day immersive experience bringing together ambitious founders, corporates, and innovators from across Europe.

​European Sovereignty: Challenges and Opportunities.

​Why it matters?

​Startups don’t grow in isolation. They grow through people, exposure, and momentum.

​This is where you get all three — in 48 hours. No more lectures, just better clarity.  Not a single conference, but stronger connections. Not random networking. You meet people who can open doors and you leave with actual opportunities

​o   Founders of late-stage startups

​o   Venture capital investors
