From London to Paris: Techscaler Founders Head to Two Key Summits

Techscaler is funding Scottish founders to attend two major summits this October: Blue Earth in London and InvestHer in Paris.

This Autumn, Techscaler is funding two opportunities for founders to raise their international profile and build investor relationships that matter. 

Whether the goal is connecting with climate-focused investors at Blue Earth Summit in London or, for women founders, closing a raise at InvestHer Summit in Paris, both routes put founders directly in front of the people who can move things forward. 

Techscaler at Blue Earth Summit 2026:

Techscaler is offering founders a fully-funded spot at Blue Earth Summit, one of Europe's leading gatherings for sustainability-led business and investment. Bringing together over 5,000 attendees, 1,000 investors and 300 speakers in London this October, it's three days built around the future economy, from climate and nature to business and capital.

Why it matters for founders

Blue Earth Summit 2026 is built around direct access. With an individual booth, a full programme of talks and dedicated support on the ground, founders get face time with investors and partners who are actively backing companies with a clear environmental or social impact angle.

What founders will get:

  • An individual booth and dedicated space to showcase their company and meet potential customers, partners and investors.
  • The opportunity to connect with 1000+ investors, founders and industry leaders.
  • Access to a packed programme of talks, discussions and interactive sessions covering tech, climate, nature, business and investment.
  • Direct support from Techscaler’s Entrepreneur in Residence, Claudia Freigang, who will be available on the ground to help founders navigate opportunities and make the most of their time at the summit.

Eligibility criteria: 

  • Who can apply: Growth stage companies that demonstrate a clear sustainability, environmental and social impact angle. Companies must demonstrate evidence of traction and have a working product or prototype.
  • Key dates: 14th-16th October in London 
  • Deadline: 5PM, 29th September

Techscaler at InvestHer Summit

Techscaler is offering founders a fully-funded place at InvestHer Summit, the global action summit working to get one million women entrepreneurs funded by 2030. Held over two days in Paris, the programme is split between access to capital and access to markets, through panels, fireside chats and breakout sessions.

Why it matters for founders

InvestHer is built for founders who are actively raising. Through direct investor access, a marketplace to drive commercial leads and dedicated on the ground support, women founders get a structured route to capital and international partners who are ready to back ambitious companies.

What founders will get: 

  • Direct access to a curated 200-seat room full of active global investors, corporate partners and policy shapers looking to fund scaling businesses.
  • Fully-funded summit pass, individual founder profiling on the official Summit platform as well as travel and accommodation funding.
  • Space at the “Buy From Her” Marketplace to showcase your product, present live demos and drive direct commercial leads with international buyers and partners. (subject to eligibility)
  • Pre-departure session on logistics and goal setting and dedicated on-site support from Delegation Lead Jennifer Forbes Iannolo, VP of Business Acceleration at CodeBase.

Eligibility criteria: 

  • Who can apply: Women founders or co-founders who own at least 25% of their business, leading Scottish tech startups with a working product, active customers, and revenue, who are actively raising capital or expanding into international markets.
  • Key dates: 27-28th October in Paris  
  • Deadline: 9AM, 28th September
