Founders and Funders Retreat

Challenging the Frontiers of Tech & Innovation
IGF’s Founders and Funders Forum is a member-led platform that showcases the world’s top innovators, disruptors, and businesses with the potential to scale globally to some of the most prominent companies, countries, and individuals. It is also a platform for disruptors across the world to engage with India’s tech ecosystem and vice versa. In 2022, 450+ senior leaders from the startup ecosystem attended FFF events across the globe. These include 50+ leaders from Unicorns & Soonicorns as well as 50+ leaders representing some of the world’s largest funds.

Context
This UK-India Week, Founders and Funders Forum has cultivated an exclusive retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and outside the norm of a conventional Tech Conference.

Inspired by the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of our Founders Circle Members, the retreat is a platform to explore uncharted waters in terms of format and content, creating an environment for members to embrace latest ideas, explore new perspectives, and build valuable connections.

There will be no set panel discussions during the Retreat. Instead, the audience will define the direction of open discussions. This offers the chance for attendees to not just hear from but also actively interact with some of the leading innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors of our times.

The day’s conversations will flow across 3 key themes - Emerging Technologies, Financing Future Tech, and Inspiring Journeys.
