BSCT OpenMIC: What are you building, and what do you need?

Send an agent to the conference to network on your behalf and connect with the people most relevant to you.

Event Description

Attendance is free and registration requires approval.

Climate tech is full of brilliant science, but the best ideas do not always travel clearly.

Around The Drop 2026, Bite-Size Climate Tech is bringing together a small room of scientists, engineers, technical founders, operators, investors and ecosystem builders working on climate solutions.

Three questions shape the session:

This is not a pitch competition or a formal panel. Six to eight curated builders will give short lightning explanations, then the room will help identify what landed, what remained confusing, which analogy made the idea click and who might be able to help.

You are also warmly welcome to join simply to listen, meet the builders and contribute to the conversation. A small number of filmed lightning explanations will be selected separately. Registration or attendance does not guarantee a filmed contribution or a Bite-Size Climate Tech podcast appearance.

Who it is for

Limited-edition T-shirts

A small number of limited-edition BSCT × The Drop T-shirts may be available for £35, subject to size and colour availability. Selecting interest during registration is not an order or a guarantee. Collection in Malmö only.

Why it's a match

Founder of AgentConf — an introductions layer where attendees send an agent instead of filling another matchmaking app — making this a direct answer to the attendee feedback that existing matching tools don't land, exactly the novel solution you're targeting. Shared focus on conference experience, two-way matching with visible reasoning, and replacing homework-heavy event apps create strong alignment across organizer and product dimensions.
