Startup and Investor Events

During Meet UtrechtInc, you'll get a chance to take a tour of our incubator and find out what we have to offer. There's also time for you to ask any questions and meet other (starting) entrepreneurs, whether you are just starting out or already on your way.

This one-to-one clinic is aimed at helping companies seek equity investment.

This edition of Deep Tech Night is our specialist subject. Most of the world's data already travels as light, and Fraunhofer HHI has spent decades building the photonic chips and optical networks that carry it, along with the quantum systems that will eventually secure it. This time it's all about building with light: photonic integrated circuits, optical communication, quantum technology, and precision sensing. We're excited to host this event with OptecBB and Leap. Who's it for? Founders commercialising photonics or quantum research Researchers curious about what their field looks like as a business Investors who understand that the bottleneck in computing is increasingly optical How does it work? Five startups pitch to the room, an investor panel asks key questions, and the audience gets a question or two A quick intro to our venture lab at Fraunhofer HHI, plus a very special guest talk Drinks before, and food after Want to pitch? There are five slots, so if you're building with photons, apply below. The full line-up will be announced closer to the event. APPLY TO PITCH Who is Silicon Allee? Silicon Allee is the venture lab at Fraunhofer HHI, one of Europe's top applied research institutes. Through our CORE Topics, selected startups work directly with HHI's patents, researchers, and facilities, backed by our network and strategic guidance, with one goal: to get your tech developed and your first financing round closed. Stay in the loop via our Newsletter or LinkedIn. Attending means you're fine with being photographed for media and promo use. See you 👋🏾 OpTecBB, the competence network for optical technologies and microsystems engineering in Berlin-Brandenburg, connects companies and research institutions working in photonics and quantum technologies.

As the third edition of the Hacker Room comes to a close, we’re excited to open our doors and showcase what our hackers have been building. Come for a series of informal, unpolished, technical demos where our Hacker Room residents share insights into the projects they've been hacking on, from simple prototypes to more polished experiments. Think less pitch deck, more back-of-the-napkin, a candid look at how ideas are being tested and stretched. Whether you're into model tinkering, systems design, or creative applications of AI, you'll find ideas worth exploring. Why attend? Get a behind-the-scenes look at early-stage ideas, engage in technical conversations, and connect with a like-minded community of AI engineers, builders, and tinkerers. The vibe is casual, curious, and collaborative. Agenda: 6:00 - 6:30 PM Arrival 6:30 - 7:15 PM Demos 7:15 - 7:30 PM Break 7:30 - 8.30 PM Demos ⚠️ Demos kick off at 6:30 PM sharp - make sure to arrive on time to catch everything!

Just 3 years ago Richard Cunha was doing his first open mic with Comedy Kiss, now we proudly present his first solo show ever! The first dates sold out within a week, so here we are with a further date for you. Here's what he has to say about this show: "This show is about figuring out how to make real connections, regardless of how good your passport is. Around 3 years ago, I quit my job to follow my dream of making people laugh. Swiss immigration didn’t like that, but my Swiss friends did! With the support of wonderful immigrant-loving people, I finally made it.
