Deep Tech Summit 2026 Highlights the Growing Role of Central and Eastern Europe’s Innovation Ecosystem
Deep Tech Summit 2026 will take place on 26–27 October in Warsaw, Poland, bringing together startups, investors, researchers, scientists, and technology leaders working at the forefront of deep technology innovation.
The event continues to position itself as one of the key deep tech gatherings in Central and Eastern Europe, creating opportunities for collaboration between emerging companies, research organisations, investment networks, and industrial stakeholders.
Last year’s edition welcomed more than 650 participants, reflecting the growing importance of the region within Europe’s wider innovation and technology ecosystem.
Deep tech sectors represented at the summit are expected to include:
• artificial intelligence
• advanced computing
• robotics
• cybersecurity
• semiconductors
• quantum technologies
• climate technologies
• advanced manufacturing
Unlike traditional digital startups, deep tech companies are often built around scientific research, advanced engineering, and breakthrough technological innovation. These sectors typically require stronger connections between academia, industry, public institutions, and long-term investment ecosystems.
As Europe continues focusing on technological sovereignty, digital competitiveness, and strategic innovation capacity, deep tech ecosystems are becoming increasingly important for economic resilience and industrial transformation.
Events such as Deep Tech Summit help strengthen collaboration across the European innovation landscape by:
• connecting startups with investors and partners
• accelerating knowledge exchange
• supporting commercialization of research
• encouraging cross-border innovation cooperation
• strengthening regional technology ecosystems
For organisations such as DINT Foundation and EDIH DIGIHUB, participation in discussions around deep technology development remains closely connected to broader goals related to digital transformation, innovation capacity building, and support for SMEs navigating emerging technologies.
The continued growth of deep tech ecosystems across Central and Eastern Europe demonstrates the region’s increasing role within Europe’s future digital and industrial development.
