Organised by Bpifrance in collaboration with INSKIP and other European partners, the European Deeptech Week arrives in Paris from 16 to 20 March 2026, bringing together investors, founders, corporates and policymakers working on Europe’s most advanced technologies.
Designed as a week of focused discussions and strategic meetings, the event aims to connect those developing deep technologies with the organisations capable of financing, deploying and scaling them across Europe. The programme will culminate with the Deeptech Summit, an invitation-only gathering expected to host around 2,500 decision-makers.
Please note that this is an invitation-only event. If you wish to attend, you can register here or through the official website above.
What to expect from the European Deeptech Week
The event is expected to attract around 2,500 participants, largely senior decision-makers from across Europe’s innovation ecosystem. Rather than operating as a traditional trade show, the week is structured around closed-door sessions, one-to-one meetings and smaller strategic discussions. These formats are designed to encourage practical conversations around partnerships, procurement, funding and industrial deployment.
To create an environment where meaningful conversations can happen between those building deep technologies and those who can help bring them to market, the programme will also include:
- Investor-founder meetings
- Pitch sessions
- Curated networking opportunities
- VIP dinners
- Side events across the city
Who’s it for?
The European Deeptech Week is designed for decision-makers from across Europe’s deeptech ecosystem. This includes executives from large European corporates and industrial groups, many of whom attend as potential buyers or strategic partners for emerging technologies, as well as venture capital firms, private equity investors and corporate venture teams focused on deeptech.
The event will also bring together founders and executives from European deeptech startups and scaleups looking for partnerships, investment or industrial collaborations. In addition, delegations from European institutions, national innovation agencies and policymakers will take part, reflecting the growing role of public funding and policy in shaping the future of deep technologies.

Key topics and the broader European context
Deeptech Week brings together organisations working across several strategic sectors, including space and defence, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, Industry 4.0 technologies such as robotics and advanced manufacturing, energy and climate solutions, and life sciences and healthtech innovations. While these industries might differ, they often face similar challenges, from securing long-term financing to scaling production and accessing global markets.
Beyond the meetings and sessions taking place during the week, the event also reflects a wider discussion happening across Europe. The continent has strong research institutions and a growing number of deeptech startups, but turning scientific breakthroughs into large industrial companies remains a challenge.
By bringing together investors, companies and public institutions in one place, the European Deeptech Week aims to encourage greater coordination and collaboration across borders, helping strengthen the foundations of Europe’s deeptech ecosystem. If you would like to be part of the conversation, you can register for the event or visit the official website to explore the programme and learn more.
