EPIC-X: Meet Europe’s Women-Led Deep-Tech Startups in Vilnius!
Join Europe’s startup community in Vilnius on 16–17 September 2026 for two days of ideas, investment opportunities and international networking around Startup Fair 2026.
EPIC-X and its women-led deep tech startups will be in Vilnius on 16-17 September, hosting the in-person event “Behind Every Start-up Success Story – How Ecosystems Shape Growth, Scale and Impact.”
EPIC-X is a European initiative funded by the European Union connecting regional innovation ecosystems and expanding opportunities for women-led deep-tech companies.
The event is co-organised with INNOVATE-EU and WE-RISE and will bring together founders, investors, policymakers, innovation agencies and support organisations to discuss what startups need to grow, access finance and expand across European markets.
Register for the in-person ecosystem event.
But events don’t stop here: in the evening, the EPIC-X Founders Showcase and Networking Cocktail will introduce 20 women-led deep-tech startups to investors, corporates and ecosystem leaders. The founders will pitch their technologies and growth ambitions during a dedicated in-person networking reception.
Investors, venture capital funds, business angels and corporate innovation teams are especially encouraged to attend. The showcase offers a focused opportunity to discover promising ventures from across Europe, meet founders directly and explore potential investment and commercial partnerships.
Request your spot at the showcase.
Events in Vilnius continue on 17 September, when participants can connect at the Startup Fair 2026, featuring international speakers, startup pitches and networking with founders and investors.
