DAVOS, Switzerland - January 2026. For the second year, Davos Angels will bring together 50 of Europe’s most influential investors for an exclusive, invitation-only gathering during the World Economic Forum. Convened by Nordic Angels, the purpose is clear: to align the capital, speed, and coordination required to secure Europe’s competitive edge.
Last year’s inaugural Davos Angels Summit concluded with one defining insight:
Europe’s greatest risk is not lack of capital - it is fragmentation.
Investors across the continent agreed that while Europe has abundant talent and resources, it continues to lose strategic ground because it acts through isolated silos rather than as a unified ecosystem. As a result, many of Europe’s most promising companies are forced to scale elsewhere - not because capital is unavailable, but because it is not aligned. The message was clear: if Europe wants to remain competitive, private capital must move with both coordination and conviction.
The 2026 Davos Angels Luncheon builds directly on that momentum, shifting from awareness to action. With the global race in AI, energy, infrastructure, and defence accelerating, the need to mobilize private capital and align Europe’s resources has never been more urgent.
“Without coordinated action, Europe risks losing both its innovation and independence on the global stage,” says Andreas Grape, Founder and CEO of Nordic Angels and initiator of Davos Angels. “Davos Angels is our initiative to unify Europe’s private capital, define what must be done, and act as a collective voice in policy and public debate.”
On January 22, Europe’s leading investors will meet behind closed doors to address one decisive question:
How does Europe build the speed, trust, and coordination required to remain competitive in a world moving faster than ever?
As geopolitical uncertainty grows and global competitors move in a coordinated force, Europe’s fragmentation has become the continent’s greatest threat. Davos Angels aims to accelerate the alignment Europe urgently needs - fast and built on trust.
The 2026 Davos Angels Luncheon is co-hosted with Business Sweden to showcase Sweden’s approaches and solutions to unifying capital as a practical blueprint. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Europe’s and the Nordic region’s innovation and competitiveness.
