The idea

A space where builders connect

Founders, engineers, investors and tech professionals on the Costa del Sol share real experiences, challenge ideas and learn from the AI-driven change reshaping how we work

A structured format, not a mixer
Think Toastmasters, but for tech: a repeatable agenda, timekeeping, and a speaker slot anyone can take
Real use cases, across the stack
One build, one broken thing or one workflow per meetup — architecture, data, AI agents, infra, product, marketing and sales. What worked, what didn't, what it cost and what the real challenges were
Honest review
Real questions, shared insight and practical stress-testing. Responsible, humble, clear
Built by enthusiasts
Tech Wave is run by volunteers who back the idea of Costa del Tech. Nobody owns it, everybody builds it

Who is this for?

No divisions — everyone building with technology is welcome

  • Founders
  • Engineers
  • Builders
  • Investors
  • Corporate Tech Professionals
  • Tech Enthusiasts
  • Solopreneurs

We support

Costa del Tech — building a tech ecosystem between Málaga and Marbella

Tech Wave is built by enthusiasts who back that mission for the region
