SuperReturn Venture 2026

SuperVenture (officially SuperReturn Venture) is the largest dedicated LP-GP venture capital conference in Europe. Held in Berlin alongside SuperReturn International, the event brings together institutional venture allocators, fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth venture programs, family offices and the European GP base for three days of programming that focuses specifically on venture capital as an institutional asset class.

The agenda is organized around the practical questions institutional VC allocators actually face: portfolio construction across early, growth and crossover stages; manager selection in an environment where the top decile increasingly absorbs the available alpha; the economics of European venture relative to US and Asian benchmarks; the role of corporate venture, sovereign capital and growth equity at the late stage; and the durability of value capture as deeptech and AI compress traditional software margin structures.

European venture has its own distinctive structural features — slower-graduating companies, smaller exit multiples, more geographically distributed deal flow, less consolidated GP set — that the conference treats as first-class topics rather than footnotes to a US-centric agenda. Sessions on the European venture exit environment (M&A vs. IPO vs. continuation), on the maturing EU sovereign tech-sovereignty programs, and on the cross-Atlantic flow of capital are perennial draws.

For European VC GPs raising globally, SuperVenture is the most efficient venue for institutional LP coverage. For non-European LPs, it is the gateway event for understanding the European VC opportunity set and assessing the regional manager field.

Venture-focused LPs across pension, sovereign wealth, fund-of-funds, family office and corporate VC; European VC GPs at every stage; US and Asian GPs with European LP relationships; growth equity and crossover funds; the legal, banking and search-firm ecosystem around European venture.

European venture capital is at an inflection point — the mid-2010s and early-2020s vintages are now reaching exit, and the resulting realized-return data is reshaping institutional allocation conviction in either direction. The conference is the most concentrated venue for accessing that data and the GPs producing it.
