ETA Without Borders
18–19 September 2026 · Paris, France
The Summit's Purpose
The ETA Without Borders Summit will convene the search fund and ETA ecosystem for vibrant discussions and exploration on entrepreneurship through acquisition, small-cap investing, and long-term business ownership. The summit will bring together investors, searchers, operators, alumni, students, and partners to discuss sourcing, acquisition, leadership, value creation, and the future of ETA across Europe and beyond.
THE AUDIENCE
SEARCHERS
Sharpen the full acquisition lifecycle: sourcing, diligence, financing, and value creation, alongside peers and operators who have done it, and build the cross-border network that makes a search work.
INVESTORS
Meet vetted searchers and operators from across Europe, surface differentiated small-cap deal flow, and connect with the next generation of acquisition entrepreneurs.
STUDENTS
Discover ETA as a career path, learn directly from experienced searchers and investors, and find the frameworks and mentors to begin your own search.
PROFESSIONALS
Engage with a fast-growing European asset class, lend your expertise to the next wave of owner-operators, and reconnect with the HEC and broader ETA community.
