Organizations
Organizations are the host entities for Deep Tech Week events.
What Are Organizations?
Organizations represent companies, groups, or communities that host events. Every event must be hosted by at least one organization.
- Companies (startups, corporations, VCs)
- Research institutions and universities
- Community groups and meetups
- Accelerators and incubators
- Media and publications
Why organizations? This structure helps attendees understand who's behind each event and builds trust in the community.
