At NORDEEP, we don’t do passive panel discussions or generic corporate slide decks. Our 2026 program is an active environment built to turn cutting-edge science into commercial scale, land pilot contracts, and spark serious investment.
Across multiple dedicated zones, you will experience live technical breakthroughs, data-driven tournaments, and closed-door collaborations.
Research-to-business, spinouts, IP commercialisation, technology transfer, investment readiness, corporate adoption, pilots, procurement, manufacturing, industrialisation and international scale-up.
Quantum computing and hardware, high-performance computing, advanced computing architectures, foundational machine-learning models, deep data systems and industrial applications addressing scientific and operational bottlenecks.
Semiconductors, microelectronics, photonics, processors, sensors, edge computing, data infrastructure and advanced components enabling AI, quantum systems, robotics, communications and autonomous technologies.
Complex physical products, robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, machine vision, intelligent manufacturing, human-machine interaction and hard-science AI designed for factories, infrastructure and harsh operating conditions.
Therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices, biotechnology, engineered biology, laboratory innovation, health technologies, sustainable food systems and research-backed life-science ventures moving from lab to market.
Industrial energy control, modular storage, grid technologies, sustainable infrastructure, advanced materials, resource recovery, battery recycling, circular manufacturing and alternatives responding to climate, industrial and regulatory demands.
Dual-use innovation, defence technologies, resilient software, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, logistics, supply-chain resilience, strategic technologies and capabilities supporting national and European security.
Satellite systems, orbital infrastructure, payload technologies, launch and delivery architectures, space communications, navigation, Earth observation, geospatial intelligence and data applications for industry, security and environmental monitoring.
To maximize your time on-site, the program is divided into distinct, high-impact formats tailored to different learning and networking styles
Technology. Industry. Capital. One Strategic Conversation.
The NORDEEP Main Stage brings together leading founders, investors, researchers, corporate executives and policymakers to examine the technologies, markets and industrial capabilities shaping the next era.
Deep Technologies Built for Real Markets.
Selected companies present their technologies, commercial applications, validation evidence and growth potential to investors, corporate leaders and industrial partners.
See What Investors Are Ready to Fund.
Active investors present their current investment mandates, including technologies, stages, ticket sizes, geographies, evidence requirements and search priorities. Each session combines concise investor presentations with moderator-led and audience Q&A, giving founders clear insight into where capital is actively looking.
Corporate Challenges. Deep-Tech Solutions. Commercial Next Steps.
Corporations and public organisations present clearly defined operational, technological and industrial challenges. Startups, scale-ups, researchers and technology providers gain direct insight into the required capabilities, business context and potential collaboration pathway.
Build the Capabilities Required to Scale.
Practical masterclasses cover intellectual property, fundraising, corporate sales, regulation, manufacturing, market entry and international growth. Participants leave with frameworks and insights they can apply to their own commercialisation journey.
Work on the Question, Not Around It.
Interactive workshops bring participants together to address a defined challenge, build a capability or develop a practical output. Topics may include fundraising, intellectual property, corporate sales, regulation, manufacturing and international market entry.
Discover Companies, Research and Industrial Capabilities.
The NORDEEP Discovery Zone brings together startups, scale-ups, universities, research teams, corporations, investors and international delegations. The zone helps participants navigate companies and technologies by sector, application and market relevance.
Technology Visibility with Direct Business Access.
Startup and scale-up stands provide a dedicated location for product demonstrations, investor conversations, corporate meetings and partnership discussions throughout the summit.
Connect Research with Capital and Industrial Demand.
Universities and research organisations present technologies, research teams, facilities and collaboration opportunities. Pavilions create a direct connection between scientific expertise, commercial partners and investment capital.
Corporate Demand Meets Emerging Technology.
Corporate innovation stands give companies a visible base for presenting strategic technology interests, meeting potential solution providers and exploring partnerships with startups, scale-ups and research organisations.
Public Resources. Industry Priorities. Growth Opportunities.
Cities, government agencies, development organisations and public funding bodies present their programmes, strategic priorities and support opportunities. The stands connect deep-tech companies, researchers and investors with funding, market-entry support, procurement pathways and public-sector collaboration.
