This event invites a thought-provoking discussion on the current state and future prospects of deep-tech innovation. Moving beyond clichés, we will explore the real challenges and opportunities in artificial intelligence, advanced computing, and aerospace technologies.
With two fast-paced Oxford-style debates and an inspiring Lecture, the format is designed to challenge dominant narratives and spark engaging conversations on deep-tech ecosystems and innovation.
The event kicks off with two debates, where experts will argue for or against specific statements, fostering a lively exchange of ideas. This format, known for encouraging diverse perspectives and stimulating discussion, includes opening statements, rebuttals, and audience participation.
The event concludes with a keynote lecture by Roberto Siagri, a serial entrepreneur in deep-tech and CEO of Rotonium. Currently pioneering quantum computing, his startup focuses on developing photonic quantum processors. He will share his journey through startups, IPOs, and the ongoing quest for investment.
