350 Leads. A Tonne of Popcorn. 2 Incredible Days at Dublin Tech Summit
With 350 leads, a tonne of popcorn popped, and countless conversations with founders, investors, tech leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs all under one roof. The energy across the Dublin Tech Summit was electric, and Irish BICs were thrilled to be the Headline Sponsor of the Accelerate Stage.
Across the two days, the
Accelerate Stage became a hub for startup-focused insights and honest conversations shaping the future of innovation. From practical AI applications with Anthropic, to selling tech, going beyond the AI hype cycle, decoding investment readiness, and building networks that truly matter, there was no shortage of inspiration and actionable insight for founders.

As Irish BICs, supporting entrepreneurs across Ireland is at the heart of everything we do. Events like Dublin Tech Summit remind us how important it is to keep learning – from founders, investors, industry experts, and each other. The conversations we had over the past two days reinforced the ambition, resilience, and innovation happening right across the Irish startup ecosystem.
Now the real work begins.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be reconnecting with the many founders and startups we met, exploring new opportunities, and continuing our mission to help even more entrepreneurs become investor-ready and scale successfully.
A huge thank you to every speaker who joined us on the Accelerate Stage. Your insights, expertise, honesty, and passion drew incredible crowds and sparked important conversations about building startups in Ireland and beyond. It was a pleasure to welcome each of you to the stage.
To everyone who stopped by, connected with us, shared ideas, or grabbed some popcorn! thank you for making DTS 2026 such a memorable experience.
We’re excited for what comes next.
