On 6 October 2022, we hosted our inaugural Goodbody Tech Summit, bringing together leading Irish, UK and European technology companies and domestic and international investors. 

The event featured engaging panel discussions about how companies and investors can best navigate these uncertain times in the context of raising capital and valuation maximisation. There were also a number of showcases from tech companies spanning B2B SaaS, enterprise software, eCommerce, fintech, cyber, video gaming and reg tech.
