Capital Allocators Room

About this event

Join us for a gathering of the people moving institutional capital into European tech and the people building what it moves into

⚡ The market today wants to encounter new approaches and new ideas differently and most formats have fallen behind the request

📅 11 November 2026 | An invitation-only afternoon during Web Summit Lisbon

Capital is coming back to Europe, and it is not buying the same things it bought last cycle. Defence and dual-use, energy and grid, sovereign compute, and the private-markets structures underneath all of it — European exposure has moved from a diversification line to a mandate.

📝 The Agenda

Two layers running together through the afternoon.

The program — short talks and a fireside on where institutional capital is actually going in Europe in 2026: defence and dual-use, energy and compute, the private-credit and infrastructure structures financing them, and how allocators are underwriting European exposure inside a real mandate rather than a thesis deck. Working-session tone, no vendor decks.

The curated networking layer sits around it. Every confirmed guest receives a personal matching brief ahead of the event: the profiles in the room most relevant to their portfolio and mandate, and the specific angle to open each conversation. Matches, profiles and messaging live in one app for the day and after it.

Speakers and the full agenda are announced closer to the date. Confirmed guests get them first.
