Meet the ScaleupFest Co-Creators

by Andrei Firoiu - Sep 4, 2026

Five organisations with different backgrounds, networks and strengths are joining forces to make The ScaleupFest 2026 happen.

Lead: Five organisations with different backgrounds, networks and strengths are joining forces to make The ScaleupFest 2026 happen.

The ScaleupFest has always been built around the CEE scaleup community, and this year, that applies to the team behind it as well.

Five organisations with different backgrounds, networks and strengths are joining forces to make The ScaleupFest 2026 happen:

  • Absolvo Consulting, bringing CEE tech M&A, scaleup growth and fundraising experience and investor relations, with deep roots in the Hungarian and CEE ecosystem
  • NetworkSmith.io, connecting founders, communities and international networks across the region and beyond
  • Prow (RO), bringing event production expertise, technology-event experience and strong connections to the Romanian tech community
  • SASK (SK), connecting ScaleupFest with Slovakia's startup and scaleup ecosystem
  • SaaStanak, bringing its SaaS founder community and network from across CEE

Different countries. Different networks. Different perspectives. One shared goal: bringing together the people building, scaling and investing in the next generation of CEE tech companies. And just like ScaleupFest itself, it is a collaborative effort.

Over the next few weeks, you will see more from the people behind the scenes as we get ready for 16-17 September in Budapest.

See you there.
