Deep Tech Momentum

A stage is just an empty floor — until someone steps up and gives it a voice. At 𝗗𝗧𝗠𝟮𝟲, three of them have. 𝟯,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ founders, investors, and corporate leaders shaping Europe's deep tech agenda — and them deciding how the story gets told. When the lights hit the 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲, Amira Moussa set the tempo. An Azure Solutions Engineer at Microsoft, she brings an engineer's instinct to the conversations everyone came to hear. Over on the 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲, Tayla Sheldrake was in her element. Co-Founder & Managing Director at MotionLab.Berlin and a force in Berlin's hardtech scene, she knows what it takes to build hard things — and she was the one handing over the 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. And when 100 of Europe's boldest startups walk up to pitch, Emilie Vallauri was holding the mic on the 𝗗𝗧𝗠𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. Portfolio Lead at Techstars and backer of hundreds of founders, spotting who's next is what she does. Three hosts. Three stages. One room you want to be in.

Looking forward to meeting all of you 🙌 in #Berlin today where I will be keynoting on “The Government Advantage” 🌍 I’ve been a huge fan and big supporter of Deep Tech Momentum for years, admiring Martin Schilling, Isabelle Simon and team for how successfully 💪 they have established this important format in the heart of #Europe So I couldn’t be more thrilled to have been invited to return and deliver a masterclass🎤 in the #Courage Room at 3.15pm in the Courage Room – thanks for the opportunity 🫶 Most deep-tech #scaleups prioritize their limited management attention on technical milestones. As a result, engagement with state authorities often remains reactive – focused on baseline compliance and certification. In our session, you will dive into: 1️⃣ Strategic BizDev: Unlocking large-scale procurement and funding opportunities. 2️⃣ Shaping the playing field: Strategies to input on and co-shape regulatory updates for evolving industries. 3️⃣ Governance as an asset: How boards and founders optimize their engagement to navigate public sector logics without losing speed. What specific challenges and hurdles are you currently facing? Drop a comment below ahead of the masterclass. #DeepTech #Scaleup #GovernmentAdvantage #PublicPrivateStrategy #GlobalScaling

We're thrilled to announce Wilhelm Studios as a 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 of Deep Tech Momentum — 𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬–𝟮𝟭 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻. A hundred years ago, iron was cast here. In a few days, Europe's technological future will be shaped here. Wilhelm Studios sits inside a former iron foundry — 𝟴,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗺² of glass ceilings, historic brick walls, and raw industrial character. It's the building where Europe's industrial past and its industrial future meet on the same floor — and for two days in May, it becomes home to the most concentrated gathering of deep tech founders, investors, and corporate decision-makers anywhere in Europe. That symmetry isn't a metaphor. It's the point. 𝟯,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝘀. 𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀. One shared goal: strengthening Europe's technological sovereignty. We couldn't have asked for a better home.

We're thrilled to announce reell - AWARENESS FOR THE FUTURE as a 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 of Deep Tech Momentum — 𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬–𝟮𝟭 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻. Under their motto "𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲", reell brings together years of experience in content production, employer branding, campaigns, and communication strategy — from corporate films and aftermovies to podcast productions and everything that can be told through the lens of a camera. At DTM26, they're the production team capturing the full picture — running multi-camera coverage across keynotes, side stages, and the matchmaking floor, plus founder interviews, atmosphere reels, and the editorial post-production that turns two days into a year of content. The kind of crew that knows the difference between filming an event and actually telling its story. We're delighted to have Julia Schanze and Anny Chandler with us from Reell, joined by the camera team cooking their magic on the floor — and Jan Borowski and Clara Heinrich on site and looking forward to the exchange. Strong event production isn't about cameras — it's about editorial judgement: knowing which conversations matter, which silences to hold, which faces in the audience tell the real story. A two-day deep tech marketplace is exactly the kind of complex environment where that judgement compounds. #DTM26 #DeepTech #Media #Production #ReellMedia #AwarenessForTheFuture

We're excited to announce Drumbeat Capital as an 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 of Deep Tech Momentum — 𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬–𝟮𝟭 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻. Drumbeat Capital is one of the most interesting new entrants in transatlantic deep tech investing.
