What is Imagine Tomorrow
Imagining a future filled with change and innovation, promoting entrepreneurship, and supporting new ideas are at the heart of the “Imagine Tomorrow International Entrepreneurship and Innovation Event,” a key component of the EURIE 2026 Higher Education Summit. Taking place on April 7–9, 2026, the event will be held for the ninth time, bringing together success stories, young entrepreneurs, and groundbreaking innovations.
