Barcelona, Spain—September 30, 2025— The 11th edition of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC11) returns to Barcelona on October 16–17, 2025, uniting global leaders, innovators, and investors to showcase why Europe remains a cornerstone of blockchain innovation.
For the first time in Europe, a blockchain convention will host over 10,000 one-on-one meetings across two days, making EBC11 the continent’s largest deal-making arena for the crypto and fintech industries.
Europe’s digital finance momentum
Despite headlines about a 90% drop in blockchain job postings since 2022, Europe continues to deliver global disruptors like Bitpanda (Austria) and Avara (UK). Investment in European fintech rose 23% year-on-year to €3.6 billion in H1 2025, with U.S. investors accounting for 28% of all deals, underscoring the region’s resilience and global appeal.
Defining the future of finance
There’s a popular narrative that Europe is falling behind in digital assets, but this doesn’t capture what’s happening on the ground,” says Victoria Gago, co-founder of EBC. “While the U.S. makes headlines, Europe is quietly building the infrastructure for the next generation of finance. From MiCA’s clarity to the digital euro, EBC11 will show that Europe isn’t just competing; we’re defining the future.
Meetings that matter
Through EBC’s networking app, attendees can schedule 1:1 meetings in minutes. A sponsored meetings service offers curated introductions and 20-minute conversations with key targets, ensuring ROI-driven deal-making. Last year, 300 meetings achieved a 90% satisfaction rate. This year, EBC11 is scaling to 10,000+ sessions.
