MeOut Summit 2026 to convene CEE innovation leaders in Budapest MeOut Summit 2026 will take place on 25-26 November at Akvárium Budapest, bringing together founders, investors, corporate innovators, researchers, policymakers and ecosystem builders from Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. The two-day event is structured around conversations, practical insights and networking aimed at connecting participants shaping Europe's innovation ecosystem. Key takeaway: As CEE startups seek greater visibility with international capital, regional gatherings that put founders, policymakers and investors in the same room remain one of the more direct channels for closing the ecosystem's access gap with Western Europe.
