A week that runs itself,
federated across a city.
Deep Tech Week is not a single keynote hall. It's a curated calendar of talks, demo days, lab tours, and salons — hosted by founders, funders, and labs across the city, all federated under one schedule. Here's how it actually works.
Decentralized by design. Federated by default.
Four moving parts — a calendar, hosts, a profile, and a city. Everything else is logistics.
We curate the calendar
Deep Tech Week publishes one calendar for the week. We don't run all the events — we federate them. Hosts apply, we vet for quality and signal-to-noise, and approved events go on the official schedule.
Hosts run the events
Founders, labs, funds, and operators bring their rooms, their audience, and their agenda. Talks, demo days, lab tours, salons, parties — whatever serves the field. We provide the funnel.
Attendees pick their week
One profile gets you into every public event on the calendar. Build your own schedule from a hundred-plus options. RSVP, walk in, meet people who are actually shipping physical technology.
The week converges
Days run in parallel across labs, warehouses, rooftops, and theaters. Mornings are technical; nights are social. By Friday the entire deep-tech ecosystem in the city has been in the same rooms.
Two ways to plug in. Pick yours.
For attendees
Founders, funders, operators, scientists, engineers, press. One profile, every event. Build your week from 150+ talks, demo days, and lab tours.

The VIP track, for the people shipping it.
For founders, funders, and operators who want the smaller rooms — the cocktail receptions, the auto-approvals, the closed-door conversations that don't make the public calendar.
