Welcome to Founders Alliance Trip + Tech Emotion Summit, Milan, Italy!

We warmly welcome you to Founders Trip + Tech.Emotion Summit on May 28-29, 2025. 

This Founders Trip integrated with Tech.Emotion Summit, offering a unique chance to explore the intersection of technology and human emotion. During our Founders Trip to Milan, we will have the opportunity to participate in various parts of the program, including the Gala Dinner at the Tech.Emotion Summit.

We travel together as a Founders Delegation to Milan, creating connections, exchanging ideas on impactful innovation, and drawing inspiration from this dynamic center of creativity and progress.

Why Travel as a Founders Delegation?

As part of the Founders Delegation, you will gain:

  • Exclusive Access: Leverage special sessions and meet-ups with peer founders.
  • Enhanced Networking: Build connections that matter, with structured opportunities to engage with other founders and industry leaders.
  • Collaborative Growth: Participate in thought-provoking discussions and workshops with peers to drive mutual success.

Our Founders Delegation offers more than participation - it creates shared experiences that enrich your founders journey.

Each participant is requested to register their preferences, taking part in all or just certain individual activities. Please select your degree of participation by updating your registration now. Check in-mail "Your Details" button. 

Since Milan is really busy this week, please book a room at The Square Hotel or Hotel dei Cavalieri Milano Duomo (both hotels are interlinked by the roof terrace) as soon as possible, since Milan is very busy this week.
