London Matrix: Deep Tech Hackathon
The US has YC. France has Station F. What does Britain have? 🇬🇧
This December 2026, SuLe and Wpark are starting to answer that!
Not with another networking event, but with a mechanism.
Pre-matched teams of founders and engineers, put straight into a build sprint on real startup challenges. 👩💻💪
25 founders. 50 engineers. Real problems. One room.
Britain doesn't lack talent. Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial and UCL produce some of the world's best researchers, engineers and founders. What's missing is a place where they repeatedly collide, build, and form companies together.
The London Matrix: Deep Tech Hackathon is the smallest version of that ambition.
📅 11 December 2026
📍 Barclays Innovation Hub Powered by Eagle Labs - 41 Luke St, London EC2A 4DP, United Kingdom
💡 How it works
Founders submit a real challenge ahead of time. Engineers submit their skills and interests.
We AI-match teams, roughly one founder to two engineers, then finalise them the day before.
On the day: rapid challenge intros, team reveal, then a 60-90 minute build sprint on the real problem.
Google, OEM and VC guests circulate throughout, offering feedback as teams build.
Selected teams demo what they built, live.
🎤 Speakers and fireside
Four speakers, each with one sharp theme, closing with a joint fireside on what Britain needs to build its next generation of technology companies.
Confirmed and invited guests include Patricia Wing (SuLe), James Wright (ex-Head of Talent, Seedcamp), and senior leaders from Google Cloud, BMW, J.P. Morgan and Bolt.
