Engineering the Frontier: From university to DeepTech

​How do you go from studying engineering or science to building technology at the frontier? What does university actually prepare you for, and what do you have to learn yourself?

​Proxima Fusion and TUM Venture Labs are bringing together young engineers from Munich's DeepTech startups to share their experiences of making that transition.

​With perspectives from Proxima Fusion, Phlair, Radical Dot, and microagi, we'll explore how they found their paths, learned to tackle problems without clear answers, and adapted to working across disciplines.

​Open to master's students, PhD students, and early-career engineers and scientists from all technical disciplines. Whether you're actively considering a startup career or simply curious about what it's like to work on ambitious, emerging technologies, you’re welcome to join us.

​A 45-minute moderated panel and audience Q&A, followed by snacks and informal networking with the people building these technologies. No recruiting pitches — just real experiences, honest questions, and new connections.
