Deep tech conferences with investor programs
A deep tech conference brings founders who build quantum computers, chips or AI systems together with the people who could buy or fund them. The conferences on this page have an investor program or a finance topic: Deep Tech Momentum in Berlin, the DeepTech Investor Summit of UBS and ETH Zurich, and the quantum and deep tech formats Finance Loop has organized or partnered with. Dates are given as the organizers publish them, and Finance Loop's own events are in the calendar below.
Deep Tech Momentum, Berlin
Deep Tech Momentum calls itself the engine for deep tech and AI commercialization in Europe. Its next edition is on May 12 and 13, 2027, at Wilhelm Studios in Berlin. For investors the organizer promises founders matched to their thesis and LPs ready to commit. The audience includes venture funds and angels, institutional, corporate and family office LPs, growth investors and corporate venture units, and the organizer counts 20,000 one-on-one meetings.
Deep Tech Momentum is part of Berlin's Deep Tech Week and its summer series. Berlin Partner lists the Deep Tech Berlin Award ceremony as part of the event, honoring five Berlin companies each year.

Its Deep Tech Award has five categories, and two of them reach finance: Web3 and distributed ledger technologies, and quantum technologies, photonics and microelectronics. The site also has a section on subsidies and financing in Berlin.
