Activate Boston — Meet the Cohort 2026

​Join us to celebrate the launch of Activate Boston's 2026 Cohort and the breakthrough hard tech they're building to tackle the world's biggest challenges. Hear from twelve incredible fellows and meet them to see how you might fit into their journey. Presentations begin promptly at 6pm.

• ​Adiabatic Machines: Building superconducting chips that close the gap between today's massive chip energy waste and the physical limits of efficiency

• ​Apidae Forms: Robotically assembling modular blocks that double as concrete molds and reinforcement, speeding up construction while cutting material waste

• ​Coastal Assembly: Building intelligent, adaptive systems that protect and regrow shorelines threatened by erosion

• ​Deco Labs: Developing animal-free ingredients from agricultural sidestreams, starting with an albumin alternative that outperforms incumbents at up to 1,000x lower cost

• ​EntoCellular: Building a low-cost insect cell culture platform for scalable, cruelty-free protein biomanufacturing, starting with pet food

• ​Flood Dynamics: Delivering end-to-end flood intelligence technology for cities, utilities, and infrastructure operators

• ​nOhm Devices: Developing semiconductors with superconductor-like performance to unlock a Moore's law for quantum computing

• ​Teragen Energy: Using advanced solid oxide fuel cells to deliver fast, reliable, on-site clean power for mission-critical infrastructure
