Clean Energy 2024

DeepTech Alliance welcomes our corporate, service provider, investor partners and investors interested in our network, deeptech startups & scaleups, alumni, and DTA members to Explore 2026 — our annual flagship gathering of Europe’s deeptech ecosystems.

This is a great opportunity to:

• Discover the latest trends and developments in deeptech innovation;
• Meet and engage with some of Europe’s most promising mature startups and scaleups;
• Build relationships with investors, startups, and corporates through curated 1:1 matchmaking sessions;
• Connect with Alliance members – the top deeptech support organizations from 17 leading deeptech hubs across Europe.

The event features 2 dynamic tracks, hosted in parallel:

The Content & Pitch Track: Explore emerging trends in deeptech through expert panels and keynotes, curated by Deeptech Labs. Topics will span the domains covered by DeepTech Alliance: manufacturing, energy, utility, buildings, advanced materials, next-gen compute and more. Selected startups from DTA's business creation programs will pitch.

The Match Track: Using our matchmaking platform CrowdWorks, corporates and investors in our network can meet handpicked startups 1:1. Peer-to-peer meetings will also be available to foster real business opportunities.

As DeepTech Alliance continues to grow, welcoming more countries, members, and programs, we’re excited to host Explore 2026 as a stand-alone event for the entire Alliance community to connect, share, and spark collaboration — over two days, in one place. Join us this year in Budapest on 1–2 December with our hosts Ljubljana University Incubator (LUI) and Bosch.

We have a limited number of tickets in each category and they are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Invitations to partners, preferred investors, alumni startups and members have been sent out – reach out to us if you believe you should have received an invitation. We reserve the right to cancel tickets booked with incorrect promo codes.
