European Foundation Impact Investing Summit

TechBBQ is delighted to invite you to an exclusive event focusing on European foundations and their impact investing.

Europe faces unprecedented challenges in climate transition, health, social inclusion and technological sovereignty. At the same time, progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals is falling behind, while demand for long-term, patient capital continues to grow. Foundations are uniquely positioned to help address these challenges - not only through grants, but by deploying capital strategically through impact investing.

At TechBBQ, we believe Nordic and European foundations can play a defining role in shaping Europe's future. That is why we are launching the European Impact Investing Summit, a high-level, invitation-only gathering designed specifically for senior decision-makers.

Hosted as part of TechBBQ, the event will bring together leading foundations, impact investors, public institutions and ecosystem builders to explore how endowment capital can be aligned with mission, impact and financial performance.

📅 Date: 26th August 2026
