Techsylvania 2026, Eastern Europe’s largest tech & business conference
Techsylvania, the largest tech and business conference in Eastern Europe, has announced a new wave of speakers for its 2026 edition, taking place on 24–25th June 2026 at Cluj Innovation Park, Cluj-Napoca.
Now in its 13th edition, Techsylvania is one of Central and Eastern Europe’s most established and highest-impact tech events. Last year alone, the conference brought together 3,000+ participants, 50+ speakers, 11 Q&A sessions, 35 exhibition and startup booths, and 13+ satellite events across two packed days, making it far more than a conference, but a full ecosystem activation.
Over 13 years, Techsylvania has become a launchpad for the region’s most ambitious founders, a meeting point for global investors, and a catalyst for partnerships that have shaped the CEE tech landscape. The event’s format ensures every interaction is high-signal, helping to connect the right people, the right conversations, and outcomes that last well beyond the closing keynote.
The event will bring together leaders from technology, AI, venture capital, fintech, product, and entrepreneurship, with a programme focused on the future of technology, business growth, product building, and the global innovation landscape.
Commenting on the event, Vlad Ciurca, Co-Founder of the conference, said: “Every year we ask ourselves how we can do better and every year the answer surprises us. This 13th edition is the culmination of everything we’ve learned, everyone we’ve connected with, and everything this community has built together. I genuinely believe this will be our most impactful edition yet.”
The latest confirmed speakers include:
- Hermann Hauser, Co-Founder & Venture Partner, Amadeus Capital Partners
- Guido Brinkel, Policy & Partnerships Lead Germany & CEE, OpenAI
- Jeanie Fang, Director of Data & AI, Crunchbase
- Sacha Dragic, Founder & CEO, Super Technologies
- Oana Ruxandra, Co-Founder & CEO, PopHatch
The 2026 agenda will include keynote sessions, practical workshops, startup-focused programming, investor and founder networking, and curated business matchmaking – helping businesses to connect, whatever stage they’re currently at. The first draft of the agenda is now available to preview at techsylvania.com/agenda, with further updates pending as the programme is finalised.
Techsylvania will also continue its Satellite Events programme, bringing together meetups, product launches, investor sessions, brand activations, and networking events across Cluj-Napoca during the conference period.
This year, Super Technologies joins Techsylvania as Strategic Partner. The partnership will support the event’s aim of connecting international technology leaders, fast-growing companies, founders, investors, and the wider innovation community.
Techsylvania 2026 is also supported by partners including UniCredit Bank, Google, Hexagon Offices, Oracle ACE Program, 3Pillar, Aily Labs, Principal33, and RunPod.
