10 reasons to get tickets for the first Tech.eu Summit NOW

There are a million reasons to do so no I want to miss our first big technology conference, but here’s a list of the 10 big ones as we start counting down the 10 days before we see so many of you in (hopefully sunny) Brussels.

1) Chats around the hearth with European technological lights

Christo Kerman

Christo is the co-founder and CEO of Wise. Wise is a global technology company building the best way to move money around the world. Launched in 2011 under its original name TransferWise, it is one of the fastest growing and most profitable technology companies in the world and is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the WISE ticker. About 12 million people and companies use Wise, which handles more than € 7 billion in cross-border transactions each month, saving customers more than € 1 billion a year.

Saul Klein

Saul is a founding partner in LocalGlobe and Latitude Ventures. Saul was previously a general partner at Index Ventures from 2007 to May 2015. Recently, Saul was a co-founder of Platoon (acquired by Apple in 2018), Zinc (co-founder of LSE), Kano and Seedcamp (initial investors in UiPath and Revolut), as well as co-founder and CEO of Lovefilm International (acquired by Amazon in 2011).

Heine Zachariasen

Heine is the founder of Vivino, a board member and chief evangelist. To whom he is credited with bringing a technological revolution to the centuries-old $ 400 billion wine industry, Heini created the Vivino platform as a solution for those who find wine confusing. In the early 2000s, before Haney was even in the wine game, he felt lost when he faced a wall of wine in a supermarket. He liked wine, but he never knew how to decide what wine was worth buying.

Haney realized that he was not alone in this concern, and decided to develop a solution that the casual wine drinker could use to choose a great wine at any cost. This was the original vision for Vivino. Today, Vivino is the largest wine community in the world.

All three will share their knowledge on our main stage.
