Who are we?

With over 1750 founders, investors, policy makers, and corporates coming together, Tectonic has become Belgium’s leading startup event. It has become a meeting point for people who believe technology and entrepreneurship can truly move society forward.

For the 2026 edition, we’re assembling a new team of 22 volunteers to push Tectonic further than ever before.

Our mission is clear: to unite a fragmented ecosystem and help founders build transformative companies, all the way towards creating a true European Silicon Valley.

And because some things are better felt than explained, we’ll let the aftermovie from our previous edition tell the rest of the story.

Our Focus & Goal

Team Structure

We’re building a 20 people team with little hierarchy where we have 2 people at the helm of the organisation. Each “role” or “domain” has their own team of 1-4 people, depending on the needs. These domains are everything that is needed to bring an event to life, be it Marketing, Production to Finance & Legal.

What’s in it for you?

You can expect to join a high-energy team with a relentless focus on innovation and a culture that values kindness, creativity and empowering your personal and professional growth. Our hierarchies are flat and our culture is curvy.

Perks:

• Strong professional growth, supported by an ambitious, talented and motivated team.
• A unique international network across the European startup, VC, and innovation ecosystem.
• Learn how to professionally manage a large-scale project.
• Learn how to build and manage a team.
• Help shape the future of European tech.
• Get a chance to connect with titans of European entrepreneurship, from unicorn founders to seasoned investors.

Keep in mind: We don’t offer any paying positions, these are volunteering roles for people that want to pay it forward
