Background

The European Tech Tour Association (ETT) was founded in Geneva in 1998 in response to growing interest to visit emerging technology companies in various European regions. ETT is an independent organization composed of key contributors to the high-technology industry. The association recognizes that continued prosperity in Europe lies in its ability to transform today's innovative projects into tomorrow's global technology leaders.

Although some European regions or industry segments show a higher density of innovative projects and expertise than others, extraordinary competence, entrepreneurship and dynamism can be found throughout Europe. Each region or segment is hiding a handful of raw gems deserving more attention and requiring guidance to quickly achieve global success. ETT's goal is to bring more transparency to Europe's regional markets or segments and to build a stronger relationship between its members and each region.

The Association organizes 3-4 country specific tours per year to identify the best emerging companies as well as 1-2 vertical industry events per year to capture the most innovative European companies in a specific industry segment such as Semiconductor, Cleantech, Medtech and Web & Mobility.

Each tour typically runs two days, with an opening dinner held the evening preceeding the Tour. Each Vertical event runs 1 day 1/2 with panel discussions, a gala dinner and 25-30 startup presentations.
