Where else could this go?
Noetic × Deep Tech London is a four-hour use-case sprint on the evening of 7 October 2026, the night before Deep Tech London, and an official satellite event of the week.
Deep tech companies build remarkable technology, then spend years working out who it's for. This evening flips that around. A deep tech company brings a real commercialisation challenge: a technology that works, and an open question about where it could go next. Teams of 3–5 spend the evening finding new use cases and new markets for it, then demo to the people who built it.
You don't need to understand the underlying science. This is a product and market problem, not a research one. It needs people who think in product, engineering, design, research, business and go-to-market.
What to expect
- 💵 Cash prizes for the top teams
- A real challenge from a deep tech company, with their team in the room
- Your ideas judged by the people who own the problem
- A selective room of builders, researchers, founders and operators
- Drinks and social afterwards

About Noetic
Noetic runs build sprints on real problems from inside real companies. We think the signal for talent has moved from what people claim to what they build, so we put builders in front of real problems and let the work speak.
