Scaleups
For scaleups, Athens Tech Summit is a strategic intelligence forum focused on the challenges that emerge once growth becomes real: capital intensity, regulation, governance, internationalization, and exit optionality.
ATS is designed for founders and executive teams preparing to engage institutional capital, expand across borders, or professionalise their operating model.
Scaleups attend ATS to pressure-test growth plans against investor reality. Sessions such as Getting to Yes, Successful Exits, Holding Company Structuring, Intellectual Property Strategy, and investor-led discussions on valuation, risk, and governance offer practical insight into how scaleups are assessed across multiple funding and exit scenarios.
Unlike early-stage conferences, ATS places scaleups in direct dialogue with venture investors, family offices, wealth managers, policymakers, and advisors who shape the environment in which larger companies operate. This provides clarity on regulatory trajectories, jurisdictional choices, capital structuring options, and long-term strategic risk: all critical for companies approaching Series B+, private equity, or strategic acquisition pathways.
ATS is also deliberately low-noise and senior-level, allowing scaleup leaders to move beyond surface networking and engage in focused discussions with peers facing similar challenges. The result is not deal chasing, but better decision-making: clearer priorities, stronger positioning, and more resilient growth strategies.
