Join us in Barcelona for an exclusive gathering of visionary founders, investors, and changemakers shaping the future of entrepreneurship and venture capital. As global dynamics shift, we’ll explore how an Open Europe – defined by sustainability, inclusivity, and forward-thinking regulation – can emerge as a leading force for innovation
In collaboration with Unlock VC, Fund F, Impact Shakers, Fitch Ratings Spain, and ELLE Spain, this thoughtfully curated event will feature bold ideas and actionable insights through dynamic panels, a fireside chat, and meaningful networking moments designed to inspire and connect.
We’re also proud to debut the ELLE Visionary Award, honoring a trailblazing women entrepreneur building not only a high-growth business, but redefining what leadership and innovation look like in today’s world. If you are a visionary woman founder and CEO based in Europe, building something bold, purposeful, and game-changing, submit your application here: ELLE Visionary Award Application Form
