Berlin Deep Tech Nexus Meetup #13 powered by Science & Startups @ TU Berlin
Back to university - and back to where deep tech starts.
October means a new semester - so Berlin Deep Tech Nexus is heading back to TU Berlin!
Hosted by Science & Startups at TU Berlin, Meetup #13 brings together researchers, students, founders, industry experts and builders from across Berlin’s deep-tech ecosystem.
This edition takes place in a 138-seat lecture hall in TU Berlin’s High-Frequency Engineering building — a fitting setting to explore how ideas move from research and technology into real-world applications.
What to expect?
🔬 Research & technology — an impulse from TU Berlin and insights into research-to-application pathways
🚀 Deep-tech spotlights — short sessions with startups working across space, advanced materials, robotics and communications
🤝 Curated networking — connect with researchers, students, founders, industry professionals and ecosystem builders
💬 Open conversations — around research transfer, entrepreneurship, careers and collaboration
This edition’s spotlights
🚀 Soltrac — manufacturing and developing deployable wings for satellites
🧪 Ciyano — developing fossil-free chemicals to unlock the potential of biomaterials
🤖 VIRAS — manufacturer-independent robotics platforms
📡 Open Radio Systems — programmable radio infrastructure and software platforms
Research spotlight from TU Berlin Chair in Space Engineering
🚀 gEICko project - developing a capture kit for docking uncooperative spacecraft
More spotlight speakers TBA soon!
Together, they demonstrate the power of Berlin's deep-tech landscape - from space and advanced materials to robotics and communications infrastructure.
Berlin Deep Tech Nexus is a talent-first, collaboration-driven meetup - no sales decks, no pitching pressure. Just people, technology and meaningful conversations about what comes next.

Why join?
Berlin has exceptional scientific talent, research infrastructure and technical expertise. At the same time, many opportunities for collaboration, talent matching and knowledge transfer remain fragmented.
Berlin Deep Tech Nexus aims to bring these communities together early - before formal company formation, fundraising or large-scale commercialisation - and to make deep-tech journeys more visible and approachable.
The meetup is particularly relevant for:
Researchers and PhD students exploring applied or entrepreneurial pathways
Students interested in deep-tech careers and real-world impact
Founders and builders looking for technical collaborators and talent
Industry professionals seeking insight into emerging technologies, research and potential partnerships
Deep-tech ecosystem organisations connecting talent, research and innovation
Who's behind it?
Berlin Deep Tech Nexus is an informal meetup series connecting the people shaping Berlin's deep-tech ecosystem - from universities and research institutes to startups, industry, incubators, accelerators and technology hubs.
Each edition is hosted together with a different ecosystem partner and takes place in a setting that reflects a different part of Berlin's deep-tech landscape.
For Meetup #13, we are delighted to be hosted by Science & Startups at TU Berlin.
