Deeptech Startup Roundtable [ONLINE]

DeepTech startups are built around significant scientific or engineering innovation - technologies where the core advantage comes from proprietary research, difficult technical problems, or deep R&D rather than simply software or business-model innovation. This includes areas such as AI, robotics, semiconductors, advanced materials, biotech, climate tech, space and other emerging technologies.

Building a DeepTech company often means navigating long R&D cycles, technical uncertainty, capital intensity, talent constraints and the challenge of turning breakthrough technology into a scalable commercial product. This roundtable brings founders together to openly discuss the realities of building, funding and taking DeepTech ventures to market.

Agenda

1. Founder Stories - What’s working, what’s not, and lessons from the journey
2. Open Discussion - R&D, funding, talent, customers & commercialization challenges
3. Peer Insights & Next Steps - Ideas, connections and practical takeaways
