​An intimate, discussion-led breakfast for founders addressing Europe's hard problems.

​Some of Europe's hardest problems sit in the physical world: how it makes things, defends itself and runs its infrastructure. We're bringing together the most ambitious builders working on them for a morning of open discussion followed by office hours with partners at Antler.

​Who it's for

​This is for founders in industrial and manufacturing tech, defence, sovereign infrastructure, sovereign AI, physical AI or devices. You might already be building, or you might be close to starting. You don't need to have raised, and early ideas are welcome.

​Agenda

​08:30: Registration

​09:00: Breakfast and break-out groups

​10:00: Discussion & conclusion

​10:30 - 12:00: Office hours with partners
