DLA Piper European Technology Summit 2025

On 6th November 2025, we hosted the 7th edition of the European Tech Summit at The Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam.

The Summit saw over 700 delegates and 45 speakers gather, bringing together a vibrant community of leaders, innovators, and changemakers from across Europe’s tech ecosystem and beyond for a half-day of strategic insights, fresh thinking, and powerful connections. Our theme, Reimagine | Reinvent | Revolutionise sparked bold conversations around technology, regulation, investment, and sustainability. From inspiring keynotes to dynamic breakout sessions, the energy in the room reflected the urgency and relevance of these topics.

The Summit was emboldened by our inspiring and insightful keynote speakers - Klaas Knot (Former President of the Dutch Central Bank), Dr. Eva de Mol (Investor, Scientist & Founder) and Dr. Gemma Galdón-Clavell (Founder & CEO of Eticas.ai). In addition we were joined by guest speaker and Former Chief of Defence of the Netherlands, Peter van Uhm.
