Deep Tech

Space, defense, quantum, robotics, data & compute—founders, funders, builders.

12 events33 speakers

The Deep Tech program at unDavos Summit 2026 covers five frontier technology areas: space, defense, quantum, robotics, and compute infrastructure. Each topic matters. Each is moving fast. And each needs capital, partners, and people who can actually build.

Our panels bring multiple perspectives on stage at once: investors, startup and scaleup founders, established corporates, operating companies, and technical experts. This mix creates real tension and real insight—not just polite agreement.

Every session runs on 5-6 questions that build a narrative. At least 1-2 are deliberately challenging. We don't do softballs.

The goal isn't conversation for its own sake. We're here to spark action: investment into companies that deserve backing, implementation projects that move technology into the real world, and partnerships between people who wouldn't otherwise meet.

The program includes structured speed networking, two major session blocks covering all five domains, and a Deep Tech Investor Reception co-hosted with AI and FinTech tracks.

If you're building, funding, or deploying frontier technology, this is where to be.
