German-Nordic Venture Clienting Night – Side event to SLUSH 2026

​How do Europe’s large corporates and public institutions move key technologies out of the pilot phase and into everyday operations? On the evening of 18 November, the Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation (BMDS) and 27pilots bring together around 150 decision-makers from across Europe and beyond to explore this question.

​The evening opens with remarks by Thomas Jarzombek, Parliamentary State Secretary at the BMDS, followed by a panel on how venture clienting can drive European tech leadership. Over dinner, corporate innovation leaders, venture clienting teams, investors and policymakers come together in a setting designed for open, in-depth conversation and new partnerships. Among the guests are founders of the German Tech & AI Cohort, a curated group of startups working on agentic AI, cybersecurity and data spaces.

​An invitation-only evening for everyone who wants to buy, deploy and scale innovation.
