Dublin Tech Summit:Dublin Tech Summit is a two day technology conference positioned at the centre of an international tech scene. The event's organisers describe Dublin as an active technology hub that has attracted the EMEA bases of many global technology companies. Over the past six years the organisers say DTS has grown rapidly and has become one of Europe’s fastest growing business to business tech events. That promotional claim is common in event marketing and should be treated as a general indicator of scale rather than an independently verified ranking.
European Innovation Council presence:The EIC will host a stand and run a workshop at the summit. EIC participation creates a focal point for EIC funded innovators who want to engage with the Commission, with peers and with potential partners, including investors or corporate collaborators. Specific programme details such as workshop timing and content were not published in the announcement and will need to be checked on the summit schedule.
Who qualifies as an EIC innovator:The announcement asks that requesters mention the EIC scheme they belong to. That typically means applicants and beneficiaries of EIC instruments such as EIC Pathfinder, EIC Transition, and EIC Accelerator. If you are uncertain whether your project or organisation qualifies, check your grant or contract paperwork or contact EIC programme officers before applying for a ticket.

Context and practical considerations

Dublin has been a magnet for multinational technology firms for more than a decade, drawing European headquarters, research teams and service operations. For startups and scaleups the city offers investor networks and corporate partners but it is also a competitive environment. Conferences like DTS offer visibility, deal flow and networking opportunities. For EIC beneficiaries the presence of the EIC stand and workshop can help amplify outreach. However complimentary tickets do not cover travel or accommodation and the organisers do not guarantee tickets beyond the limited allocation. Request early if you want to be considered.

When planning to attend, check visa and travel requirements well in advance. Confirm workshop timing and any speaker application deadlines. Smaller, complementary ticket allocations tend to be claimed quickly. Do not assume an EIC associated ticket provides fast track access to meetings with investors or guarantees speaking slots.

What to expect at the summit and how to prepare

Dublin Tech Summit positions itself as a B2B forum. Typical Summit activities include keynote talks, panels, workshops, and structured networking. For technology innovators and EIC beneficiaries the summit can be useful to pursue partnerships, commercial discussions and corporate collaborations. Prepare a concise pitch, updated one page executive summary, and clear asks such as partnership, pilot trials or follow up investor meetings. Make appointments early and prioritise meetings that are likely to produce measurable progress.

Networking strategy:Focus on targeted meetings rather than broad attendance. Use the event platform to schedule meetings ahead of time. If you are part of an EIC cohort, coordinate with fellow beneficiaries to maximise visibility and to share learnings from the EIC workshop.

Limits and disclaimers

The original message from the EIC Community contains a built in disclaimer. It frames the information as being shared for knowledge purposes and not as an official policy or position of the European Commission. Acceptance of a complimentary ticket does not change the fact that travel and accommodation are the attendee's responsibility. Availability is limited and allocation is not guaranteed beyond the stated first come first served rule.

Contact and next steps:If you are an EIC Community member and would like to request a ticket, send an email to EISMEA-events@ec.europa.eu. Put Dublin Tech Summit 2024: Ticket Request as the subject line and state which EIC scheme you are affiliated with. Check the Dublin Tech Summit official website or the summit programme for workshop times and additional registration options if the complimentary allocation has already been exhausted.
