EIC invites its community to Dublin Tech Summit 2025 with limited free tickets
The European Innovation Council is offering a small allocation of complimentary tickets for EIC community members to attend the Dublin Tech Summit 2025. The offer is explicitly limited and available only to EIC beneficiaries. Applicants should act quickly as tickets will be issued on a first come first served basis. Travel and accommodation costs are not included in this offer.
What the offer includes and what EIC will be doing at DTS
The EIC will maintain a visible presence at Dublin Tech Summit 2025. The organisation will have a dedicated stand, pursue speaking opportunities, and run a range of related activities during the two day conference. Community members who obtain tickets will gain access to the DTS sessions and the opportunity to meet other attendees. There is no automatic guarantee that ticket holders will secure speaking slots or bespoke matchmaking with investors or partners.
Who is eligible and how to request a ticket
This offer is restricted to EIC beneficiaries. If you are a recipient of funding or support under an EIC scheme you are eligible to request a ticket. Tickets are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. The EIC emphasises that travel and accommodation are the responsibility of the ticket recipient.

Why consider attending and realistic expectations
Attending DTS can be useful for visibility, networking, investor meetings, and business development. For EIC innovators it offers a chance to showcase progress, learn about industry trends, and connect with potential partners. The actual return on attending depends on how well you prepare, the relevance of the event to your sector, and the quality of follow up after the summit. Be prepared that a free ticket does not guarantee curated meetings, introductions to investors, or a speaking slot.
Practical tips if you request a ticket
Act quickly because allocation is first come first served. Prepare a concise one page summary of your project and an updated pitch deck in case you get networking opportunities on short notice. If you rely on investor or partner meetings, reach out proactively to contacts and request meetings rather than waiting for introductions at the event. Book travel and accommodation early. Keep receipts and records if you plan to claim reimbursement from other funding sources or if your organisation requires advance approvals for travel expenses.
Limitations and official disclaimer
The EIC message stresses limited availability and first come first served allocation. Travel and accommodation are excluded. The announcement includes a disclaimer that the information is for knowledge sharing and is not the official view of the European Commission or any other organisation. Prospective attendees should treat this as an informational opportunity rather than a formal programme guarantee and should verify arrangements directly with event organisers if they need confirmations for travel approvals or visa purposes.
If you are eligible and interested send the required email promptly. If you do not receive a ticket consider registering directly with the Dublin Tech Summit for paid access or watch for other EIC supported events and community networking opportunities.
