One week in October when the whole Czech startup scene runs its programme in the same city, initiated by CzechInvest. The 2026 edition strings together 17 independent events: a fintech hackathon, the Technology Incubation and ESA BIC demo day, the Engaged Investments VC conference, a private founders dinner on exits, and a defence and dual-use tech reception. Roughly 2,500 people came last year, and the calendar is built so an out-of-town founder can land once and hit investors, operators and buyers in five days. Each event ticket is sold by its own organiser, so plan the week from the programme page.
