TechCrunch Strengthens Commitment to European Tech Coverage

Recent headlines suggesting that TechCrunch is "pulling out of Europe" are simply incorrect. Instead of retreating, TechCrunch is realigning and reinforcing its commitment to European technology coverage through a strategic partnership with Foundry, a powerhouse in international tech journalism.

Foundry’s portfolio includes respected brands such as PCWorld, Macworld, CIO, and TechAdvisor, with a vast network of journalists deeply embedded in local and regional tech ecosystems across Europe and beyond. This partnership aims to create a globally focused media platform that amplifies European innovation.

Why Europe Matters in Tech

Europe is a hotbed of technological innovation. From rewriting fintech regulations to pioneering quantum computing startups emerging from Max Planck labs, and climate-tech pilots setting global standards, the continent is shaping the future of technology. In 2024 alone, European startups raised over €40 billion, with many new unicorns born here.

TechCrunch’s renewed focus means being present at key events—from demo days in Tallinn to hydrogen-hub unveilings in the Basque Country—ensuring stories are told with the depth and nuance they deserve.

The merger with Foundry also promises relentless scrutiny, cutting through hype to deliver real stories, and a global megaphone that gives breakthroughs in Zagreb the same attention as those in Silicon Valley.

For founders, investors, and readers, this means more comprehensive, on-the-ground reporting and amplified voices for European innovation worldwide. TechCrunch invites the community to stay engaged and share their stories through direct channels, signaling a louder, broader listening approach.

In summary, TechCrunch is not retreating but doubling down on Europe, leveraging Foundry’s strengths to build a unified, global platform that celebrates and scrutinizes European tech innovation with unmatched depth and reach.
