Deep Tech: From Lab to Market: Scaling Deep-Tech from Greece and Beyond.

​Greece is at a pivotal moment in deep-tech, with growing activity from investors like Uni.Fund and Metavallon VC,  alongside a broader base of Greek and European investors. With a growing pipeline of research emerging from universities and innovation hubs, Greece is beginning to produce globally relevant deep-tech ventures; however, critical gaps remain in translating research into venture-backable startups, accessing specialized capital and talent, and scaling beyond local markets

​This event will bring together investors, researchers, founders, and ecosystem builders to map the current landscape, explore key challenges and opportunities, and showcase innovators who have successfully navigated the journey from lab to market, ultimately positioning Greece as a rising deep-tech hub and fostering meaningful collaboration across the local and European ecosystem.

​Hosted by Metavallon VC, Uni.Fund and Athens Tech Circle.
