Deep Tech Collective Conference 2026
The Industrialization of Deep Tech
ARENA2036, Stuttgart.
30th October, 2026
We are delighted to announce the second edition of the Deep Tech Conference!
This year, the conference will focus on the industrialisation of deep tech — exploring how emerging technologies can move from research and innovation into real-world applications and scalable solutions.
AI & value creation
How artificial intelligence can deliver measurable value beyond the hype cycle.
Quantum technologies
Pathways from theoretical research to practical, real-world applications.
Robotics & climate
Automation and sustainability innovations shaping industry and society.
Space & future systems
How space technologies are increasingly embedded in tomorrow's infrastructure.
Technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and robotics are evolving rapidly. Organisations across industries are increasingly exploring how these advances can be translated into practical applications, new business opportunities, and lasting impact.
The Deep Tech Conference will bring together researchers, industry leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and members of the wider deep-tech ecosystem to exchange experiences, share insights, and discuss the opportunities and challenges involved in industrialising deep technologies.
Beyond the technical developments themselves, the conference will also explore the broader economic impact, sustainability considerations, implementation challenges, and lessons learned from real-world applications.
