Closing Deeptech Forum
The Closing Deeptech Forum, organized by Innvierte (CDTI), is a key event that brings together deeptech startups, investors, and corporations to foster tech transfer and investment in disruptive innovation. The forum serves as a year-end meeting point for networking, showcasing success stories, and exploring key trends in the deeptech ecosystem.
Engineering the Impossible: How Deeptech is Solving the Climate Crisis
Fusion energy, programmable biology, carbon-mineralizing rocks, climate-focused quantum computing, and algorithms that can decarbonize global supply chains. This isn’t sci-fi — it’s deeptech.
In this session, we bring together bold founders, researchers and investors building technologies that take time, science and resilience — but promise massive impact.
We’ll explore how these breakthroughs are funded, how they navigate the valley of death, and how to build the next generation of climate unicorns from lab to market.
This is a conversation for those who don’t fear moonshots, they invest in them.
How can deeptech startups scale in the face of the “hardware gap”?
What are investors looking for when returns aren’t immediate but impact is massive?
How can science, business, and policy collaborate without slowing innovation?
Smart Cities and Digital Governance: The Strategic Role of Data
In smart cities, data is not just information — it is the infrastructure that underpins progress. This panel brings together leaders in urban strategy and digital governance to examine how data can shape decision-making, accountability and innovation. We will ask: who controls the data, who truly benefits, and how can cities build trust while becoming genuinely intelligent?
Investing in Europe: Competing with the USA and China
In a global landscape dominated by fierce innovation and capital flows, how can Europe strengthen its investment ecosystem to compete with the economic powerhouses of the USA and China?
This panel brings together leading investors & policymakers to explore Europe's position in the global race for technological leadership.
Topics will include access to capital, scale-up strategies, cross-border collaboration, and regulatory challenges — as well as what’s needed to build world-class companies from Europe.
Can Europe play to its strengths and claim its place at the forefront of the global innovation economy?
AI, Efficiency & the Quantum Leap: Future with Less Energy and more Impact
Artificial intelligence has moved beyond being an experimental tool to become a critical infrastructure for innovation and business competitiveness. But the exponential growth in its use has also brought a new challenge: how to make AI more efficient, sustainable, and profitable.
In this fireside chat, Roman Orus, Co-Founder of Multiverse Computing and a European leader in applied quantum computing, will share his vision on three key vectors for the future of AI:
The balance between cloud and edge: how models are evolving to operate in a more distributed manner, optimizing resources without sacrificing capabilities.
Sustainable AI: how reducing energy consumption — through model compression and optimized algorithms — is not only a response to the climate challenge, but also a direct path to improving business margins.
Quantum software in production: far from being a long-term promise, there are already real-world use cases in sectors such as finance, energy, and industry that demonstrate the tangible value of this technology.
A deep conversation about how to make the AI of the future not only more powerful, but also more conscious, scalable, and transformative.
