It's time to think

Europe stands at an inflection point. It must step up not just to stay relevant, but to lead.
Our aim: redefining how we build, fund, scale, and collaborate by building on Europe’s momentum - with Belgium at its epicenter.

During the 5th and 6th of November, Tectonic will become the boldest gathering of founders and investors in Belgium.

Shaking the city of Ghent with a premier tech event, we unite startups, investors, and key players in the European startup ecosystem.
The goal? To collide, collaborate and build together.
