Building Physical AI
Building a hardware startup, researching robotics, studying engineering, or just curious about where AI meets the real world? This evening is for you.
Urho Konttori co-founded Varjo, one of Europe's best-known XR hardware companies. Now, with Distance, he's taking lightfield displays into cars and armored vehicles. He sits down with Mårten Skogö, co-founder of Tobii and now a deeptech and hardware investor at node.vc, for an open conversation about what it takes to scale hardware, from both sides of the table.

In the room
You don't need a company or a prototype to join. If you're building, researching, studying or just curious, you belong here. Come meet others in the space over pizza and canned drinks, on us. Hosted by Kiuas and node.vc.
This is a curated event and we go through all registrations personally, to keep the room a good mix of builders, researchers and students.
