## About

A side event to The Drop 2026, hosted by Unconventional Ventures & the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA).

How do we unlock and future proof the journey from scientific discovery to commercialization?

The hardest part of deeptech isn't the science. It's everything that comes after - the funding structures, policy gaps, and infrastructure decisions that quietly determine whether a discovery ever becomes a company. Closing that structural gap starts with getting the people building through it and the people funding it into the same room.

Join us for a small working gathering in the beautiful greenhouse at Slottsträdgårdens Kafe: research-native founders, deeptech investors, and policy voices spending an afternoon on the specific bottlenecks in their fields - and the one change, in funding, policy, or mindset, that would move the needle most.

Homemade cider, apple pie, ice cream, and coffee included!

September 15, 12:30 - 15:00 · Slottsträdgårdens Kafe

We're keeping this intentionally small - 40 max, building and funding the leap from lab to company across energy, health, industry, and beyond.
