Do I have to participate in all three days?
+

We highly encourage you to join as much of DTM as you can. If you are a founder, Deep Tech Momentum is designed to change the trajectory of your company’s life. All three days are packed with invaluable workshops, speakers, and networking opportunities.

How do I get to DTM 2024?
+

From Berlin HBf it takes approximately 40 minutes to reach the venue by public transportation. Berlin has a good public transport system, although the event location is not directly connected to a main transit route. You can see what transport works best with your accommodation’s location with Google Maps or BVG. We recommend taking a taxi or rideshare from the nearest S Bahn station to the venue or finding a connecting bus route. 

Please note, there is no parking available on site and street parking is limited in the area.

What are the requirements to become a Joiner?
+

We are searching for Deep Tech enthusiasts with backgrounds in tech, science or business. As a Joiner, you should be looking to join an existing Deep Tech founding team and be ready for a full-time commitment in the European Deep Tech ecosystem. Prospective Joiners should fill out the application form here.

What events can Joiners participate in?
+

For Founders

Should our entire founding team plan to attend?
+

We strongly recommend joining DTM with your entire founding team, as this will massively increase the chance of fundraising, multiply the number of workshops you can attend, and maximize the mentors and talent you can meet.

Must our business be incorporated in order to join Deep Tech Momentum?
+

Start-ups participating at Deep Tech Momentum should be incorporated or in the process of incorporating.

Must we be looking for a co-founder in order to join Deep Tech Momentum?
+

While we welcome teams that are still looking for a potential co-founder, this is not a requirement. Our joiner match-making session will provide you with the opportunity to not only match with potential co-founders but also potential employees or simply sparring partners for your ideas.
