Central & Eastern Europe has become one of Europe’s most compelling VC opportunity platform. Between 2019–2023, tech enterprise's value in this region jumpe from €89B to €213B (Dealroom). In 2024 alone, investments grew +50%, fundraising +66%, and exits +17% — almost twice the pace of the broader EU (Invest Europe/TheRecursive). Even amid global contraction, CEE proved resilient, dipping only –15% vs –35% in Western Europe (EU.VC). As of 2022, 44 of Europe’s 179 unicorns hailed from CEE (Vestbee), now climbing to 50+ worth ~$200B across 12 countries (Dealroom), with four new unicorns born in 2024 (TheRecursive). Returns follow suit: 2.09× gross and 9.95% net over 10 years (EBRD).

Many CEE impact VCs are determined to launch the region’s first impact unicorn. We invite you to discover this rapidly evolving ecosystem at our LPs-Only CEE Day in Budapest, on 10 October 2025 — a closed-door, invitation-only gathering designed specifically for European LPs.

Hosted by ImpactCEE, the day includes:

• A landscape deep-dive by KPMG

• A keynote by Robert Manz ( "A journey from PE to impact investing")

• Peer-to-peer discussions, quality networking, Budapest’s renowned culinary scene and live music by Jazzation

Back-to-back with the 10th Anniversary CEE4Impact Day, your invitation also grants complimentary access to the conference on 9 October and the Speakers’ Night on 8 October.
