About Event

Co-hosted by The Engine and the Tough Tech Summit Host Committee: Breakthrough Energy, DCVC, Engine Ventures, NFX, Obvious Ventures, RA Capital, and SOSV.

Tough Tech Summit is the flagship event of Tough Tech Week and brings together Tough Tech startups presenting their work with the investors, government, academic, and ecosystem leaders funding what’s next. The day features pitches, panels, and high-impact networking designed to connect breakthrough science with the people and organizations helping it move forward.

A cornerstone of Tough Tech Week (October 26–30), the Summit spotlights the next generation of Tough Tech pioneers while examining how the ecosystem can scale solutions and support those just beginning their journeys. Last year’s Summit welcomed 440+ attendees, 250+ startups, and 160+ investors.

Tough Tech Week is a week-long celebration of transformational science and engineering, hosted by The Engine and more than 50 partner organizations across Greater Boston and beyond. The week convenes Tough Tech startups building breakthrough solutions alongside the investors, government leaders, academic institutions, and ecosystem organizations funding and supporting them. Last year’s Tough Tech Week featured 65+ ecosystem events. To learn more and register for the full calendar, visit luma.com/toughtechweek or engine.xyz/toughtechweek.
