We do a lot of events throughout the year, more than 20, in fact. Most of these are large events which involve months and months of planning. Each one is special and has its own vibe, its own excitement. But there was just something about Deep Tech Connect, which we organized with ecosystem partner HighTechXL, in only six weeks. There was a new level of excitement, a whole new level of deep tech players, and they were SERIOUSLY connecting at the sold-out event. There were impact investors and deep-tech startups, economic development folks, government representatives and tech experts from corporates of all sizes. The elusive Peter Wennink, CEO of ASML, Europe’s most valuable tech company, delivered the keynote address. The audience hung on every word. The theme of the day was connecting, and according to participant feedback, emails were pinging, calendars were syncing and conversations were sparking across the entire High Tech Campus Eindhoven. Deep Tech Connect was such a success, we’re planning to do it again next year. Stay tuned to this channel for more information. Until then, keep connecting!

1yThis was such a great day. I still hear from people who attended – mostly startups – who tell me they scheduled multiple meetings after the event. One startup may have found his CTO at Deep Tech Connect. Deep tech is hard, but I think this event made it a bit easier for all parties to find each other and move forward on the same path.
