Live From the Future! A Deep Tech Investor Expo
The future isn't something we wait for, it's being built.
In partnership with Breakthrough Energy and Bakar Labs, Activate invites you to Live From the Future, our flagship SFCW showcase.
This interactive demo hall brings together some of the world's top deep tech founders translating breakthrough discoveries into real world solutions. Technologies you can see, touch, and explore as you walk the room.
From new materials to technologies decarbonizing heavy industry, this is where fundamental science becomes investable reality. Get up close with prototypes, engage directly with the founders behind them, and get an early look at the innovations shaping our future.
Deep tech is accelerating. This is your front-row seat.
