    The European Tech Tour Association is a not exactly a high profile outfit. It’s common knowledge if you’re a VC but I still come across startups who haven’t heard of it. It generally organises two or three day ‘tours’ of countries or regions, involving blue-shirted VCs and corporate investors hunting down technology companies. Think big gaming hunting but done over Powerpoint pitches and cocktails in the evenings.

    The best startups in a country/sector are selected to present, but, a little like the World Cup, the Tour hasn’t been to the UK for a while.

    But now the the UK Ireland TechTour 2010 will run from 27-29 April. Startups can apply here until February 15. As The Equity Kicker VC blog points out, it’s a good way for startups to build profile in the European venture scene and to meet investors.

      Since the tour is advertised as “European”, can we indeed expect it to reach Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Turkey) we do have a lot of talent here and we are growing pretty quickly in terms of Broadband penetration and Internet usage per capita.
