CTO Lunch: From the Racetrack to the Factory Floor - The Realms of Physical AI

​Join Felix Capital x Tectonic for an invite-only lunch in Ghent on 21 October, bringing together CTOs, founders, and investors from across the local tech ecosystem.

​From TechWolf’s recent acquisition announcement to Polysense’s work at the forefront of physical AI, we’re proud to back ambitious founders emerging from Ghent’s thriving tech ecosystem.

​We’ll be joined by Lucas van Dijck, CTO and co-founder of Polysense, for a Q&A exploring the journey from building autonomous race cars at Ghent University to bringing AI to the factory floor.

​Born out of the founders’ shared experience at UGent Racing, Polysense is now building an AI-native intelligence layer for food manufacturing, helping factories improve quality, optimise production and reduce waste.

​An opportunity to connect with fellow founders and technology leaders, exchange ideas and hear first-hand from a team turning cutting-edge engineering into real-world impact.
