Deep Tech Night
On September 25, we’re teaming up once again with Deep Tech Nexus to create a stage that spans the entire spectrum of deep tech — from breakthrough research and academic projects to startups.
Every month, Deep Tech Night brings together Berlin’s deep tech community. Startups pitch, investors judge, researchers connect, and ideas come alive.
It’s research, industry, and entrepreneurship sharing the spotlight, all in one evening.
Pitching startups & the investor panel will be announced closer to the date.
🎤 Got a bold idea in deep tech? If you're a founder ready to take the stage, apply to pitch here.
Who should attend?
Researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts, aspiring founders, academics, and deep tech & AI enthusiasts. 🧠

Researchers & Students – Share your work in an open, collaborative environment. Whether you’re exploring fundamental science or testing a prototype, this is where you’ll find peers, feedback, and maybe even a collaborator.
Founders & Early Teams – Looking for your next idea, co-founder, or just a room full of deep thinkers? Come connect with researchers, investors, and experts working on frontier technologies.
Industry Experts & Ecosystem Builders – See the pipeline in full: research in motion, projects emerging from labs, and startups ready to scale. Learn what’s coming next and who’s behind it.
Investors – Gain early exposure to projects at their very first steps through Nexus, then watch later-stage startups pitch at Deep Tech Night. A rare chance to see the whole spectrum of deep tech innovation in one evening.
Silicon Allee at Fraunhofer HHI is at the heart of Berlin's deep tech ecosystem. 🫀
As the startup department at Fraunhofer HHI, we work directly with startups to bridge the gap between the institute's research and real-world innovation. We provide selected startups with access to Fraunhofer HHI's expertise, patents, and resources, complemented by Silicon Allee's network and guidance. Our mission is to support startups in developing their technology and securing seed funding.
Are you an early-stage deep tech startup working in AI, photonics, wireless communications, quantum tech, or image & video tech?
🎉 Applications to work with us are now open! To qualify, startups need a working MVP, a team of at least 2 co-founders, and a complete pitch deck. Visit our founders page to see if you're a fit and apply now!
