The event features high-potential deep tech ventures that have completed the DT Launch Pad 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, DT Launch Pad Liftoff is designed as a relaxed, high-quality networking evening where short pitches serve as a starting point for meaningful investor conversations.
