Tech Events at AI House, Amsterdam

An afternoon at AI House built around the grand finale of the EIT AI Entrepreneurs Lab 2026, where a selected cohort pitches after five days across Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Around the pitches: perspectives from the AI and robotics ecosystem, interactive sessions and networking with investors, corporates and university research groups, run as part of European AI Innovation Month. 14:00 to 17:00, free. Places are limited and registration is an expression of interest - the organisers confirm attendance afterwards to keep the mix of founders and investors balanced. Why go: the pitching founders were filtered by EIT rather than self-selected, so the quality floor is higher than an open pitch night. Best for investors looking at early AI and robotics, and founders who want to be in that room.

The European Women Payments Network's annual conference, a full day at AI House on keeping AI in financial services human, inclusive and accountable. The programme runs from a keynote on human-centred design as a strategic requirement, through panels on leadership in the AI era, who the real customer is once autonomous agents start making payment decisions, designing for high-stakes life events, and separating AI-native products from AI-washed ones, to a closing session on data dignity and consent. Spotlight talks cover the EU AI Act and UK resilience research from Nadia Edwards-Dashti and Sam Emery. Lunch included, free to attend. Why go: payments people arguing about agent-initiated transactions and AI Act compliance a year before most firms have to. Best for fintech product, risk and compliance leads.

A founder-and-investor panel at AI House on what raising actually looks like in 2026: what investor-ready means now, which numbers matter, how long a round takes, and where deals stall in diligence. Matthijs Huiskamp (CEO, Altura) and Jasper Spiegeler (CEO, OMRT) give the founder side; Saumitra Dubey (Partner, Smartfin) and Arun Bhahirathan (Principal, Prosus Ventures) the investor side, moderated by Jitse Rupp of 0Delta. Doors 17:30, panel 18:10, audience Q&A 18:55, drinks until 20:30. Free, co-hosted with Prosus and Cloudflare. Attendance is curated, so you request to join rather than book. Why go: it is pitched at late-seed and Series A founders who have raised before, and the Dutch-versus-international question gets aired properly, which it rarely does. Not a first-time fundraising session.

Voice AI Space has toured Barcelona, London, Dubai, Paris, New York and beyond — now it lands in Amsterdam at AI House. This evening brings together the people actually building the voice AI stack: founders, engineers, product leaders and researchers shaping how machines listen, process and respond in real time. The format is tight: open networking from 5pm, followed by live demos and short talks from leading voice AI builders (6–7pm), then food, drinks and the unscripted conversations where collaborations start. Whether you're deep in voice agent architectures, exploring the space for the first time, or somewhere in between, this is a high-signal room with a genuinely international community. Spots are limited.
