Mathieu Nebra to address founders at EU-Startups Summit 2026
OpenClassrooms co-founder Mathieu Nebra, a pioneer in accessible online education, is set to speak at the EU-Startups Summit 2026, taking place on May 7-8 in Malta. The annual gathering brings together thousands of European founders, investors and ecosystem leaders to discuss innovation, funding, and the future of the startup landscape.
Spotlight on the future of online learning
As the driving force behind OpenClassrooms, one of Europe’s most recognized online learning platforms, Mathieu Nebra is expected to share strategic insights on how edtech is reshaping talent development and the future of work. His session is likely to explore how scalable online education, industry-aligned curricula, and competency-based learning can address Europe’s persistent digital skills gap.
With startups increasingly competing for specialized talent in fields like software engineering, data science and AI, Nebra’s perspective on building job-ready learning pathways will be closely watched by both founders and investors attending the summit.
Malta as a growing European innovation hub
The EU-Startups Summit 2026 will once again position Malta as a strategic meeting point for Europe’s tech and startup ecosystem. Over two days, the event will feature keynotes, panel discussions, a pitch competition, and extensive networking opportunities for early-stage and scaling companies.
By hosting thought leaders such as Mathieu Nebra, the summit underscores the increasing importance of lifelong learning and remote-first skills development in Europe’s economic and technological agenda. For founders building in edtech, HR tech, or future-of-work solutions, Nebra’s participation adds a strong draw to the 2026 edition.
What attendees can expect
Participants can expect practical insights on integrating online training into startup growth strategies, partnering with education providers, and designing inclusive learning opportunities that scale globally. The presence of OpenClassrooms at the summit reinforces the central role that flexible, digital-first education now plays in Europe’s innovation economy.
