The Spin-Off Launchpad

  • This is not a typical conference session. It is a working environment designed to help science-based teams become investment-ready and connect directly with investors.

    The programme focuses on what matters in practice:

    • understanding what investors actually look for in deep-tech spin-offs

    • learning how to present your idea clearly and convincingly

    • receiving direct feedback from experienced investors and mentors

    • building real connections that can lead to follow-up meetings and funding opportunities

    Both theoretical insights and practical sessions will be delivered by international experts – investors actively working with deep-tech investments. Participants will test, refine, and validate their ideas in real time. For founders, this means leaving with a clearer narrative, stronger positioning, and actual investor contacts.

    Startups await a meeting with an impressive list of speakers and investors:
