NORDEEP Nordic Deep Tech Business Summit, held at Dipoli in Espoo on 18–19 September 2024, is a meeting place for startups, research groups, investors, companies, universities and research institutes, accelerators and incubators, talent, public organisations and other key stakeholders. This year the City of Riihimäki is one of the event’s sponsors, and DEFINE is strongly involved. At the event, startups and research groups connect with the funding, piloting opportunities, customers, business development experts and advisers, talent and founders they need to advance their business. One of the key industries and topics at Nordeep 2024 is solutions and technologies suitable for the defence sector and dual use.
Deep tech startups have enormous potential to revolutionise entire industries. Ambitious, boundary-breaking research and innovation are constantly expanding our understanding of what is possible in the first place.
