DT Launch Pad Fundraising Fair

Looking for a new investment opportunity in our European Deep Tech ecosystem?

The DTLaunchPad Fundraising Fair brings together early-stage deep tech ventures, investors, universities, and innovation stakeholders from across Europe for an evening focused on turning research into investable solutions.

The Event

The event features high-potential deep tech ventures that have completed the DTLaunchPad programme, a year-long European initiative supporting research-based teams through training, mentoring, validation, and early commercialisation.

Organised as an unofficial side event of Hello Tomorrow, the Fundraising Fair is designed as a relaxed, high-quality networking evening where short pitches serve as a starting point for meaningful investor conversations.
