BECOME AN ADVOCATE

Advocates form the backbone of Tech Emerging Europe Advocates. They are entrepreneurs, founders, ecosystem enablers, researchers, technologists, policymakers, and creatives who are committed to telling the region’s story — honestly, loudly, and globally.

They don’t just represent countries or sectors. They represent ideas, values, and movements.

Being an advocate is not honorary. It’s active. It’s a shared responsibility to grow something meaningful together.

Why become an advocate?

Global reach

Join a growing network of 40,000+ advocates worldwide through Global Tech Advocates, with direct access to founders, investors, and changemakers.

Real connection

Be part of an engaged community through online groups, events, and in-person meetups — across borders, themes, and industries.

Shared learning

Gain curated insights from the TEEA and GTA network, plus co-create campaigns, roundtables, and reports that influence the future.

Your voice counts

Participate in feedback loops with policymakers, regulators and ecosystem shapers. You’ll be invited to surveys, advisory sessions, and strategic discussions.

What we expect in return

  • Be an active connector: make introductions, offer support, open doors
  • Help grow the network: recommend two advocates per year
  • Stay involved: follow updates, engage on community platforms, contribute to conversations
  • Keep showing up: we review participation annually to ensure the network remains alive and meaningful

This is a no-fee network. What we ask for is time, energy, and commitment.
