The ECT Forum (European Competencies & Technologies Forum) is an annual event series dedicated to exploring the latest advancements in technology and the essential skills needed to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. Our mission is to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing among professionals, educators, and industry leaders from around the world.
Our vision is to establish yearly ECT events in numerous countries worldwide, promoting cutting-edge technologies and fostering business growth while creating new networking opportunities, startups, and innovative ideas. We aim to be a catalyst for progress, connecting diverse minds and driving forward-thinking discussions on the technologies and skills shaping the future.
We invite countries interested in hosting their own ECT events to contact us. We are committed to providing comprehensive assistance and guidance throughout the planning and execution process. Each country’s event is considered an independent initiative, allowing for flexibility and customization to meet local needs and interests.
While we encourage physical presence to maximize engagement and networking, we understand that funding or organizational challenges may necessitate online events. Our goal is to ensure that every event, whether in-person or virtual, provides valuable insights and opportunities for all participants.
