Watch the DTM26 aftermovie and hear from those who directly impacted European competitiveness.


DTM26 AFTERMOVIE

DTM26 AFTERMOVIE

Our pledge: bring €15B+ per year in procurement to the European deep tech ecosystem.

Europe builds world-class technology and buys too little of it.

The 1% Alliance closes that gap.

More than 100 CEOs commit one percent of annual procurement to young European technology companies.

In Germany alone, that turns into ten to fifteen billion euros of new, recurring demand every year, more than the entire German VC market.

Born at Deep Tech Momentum 2026, the Alliance is now assembling its founding circle of CEOs.

DTM gets better every year and I'm super pumped—new faces from politics, even more investors from abroad, a lot of US and UK investors flocking in, and corporate people with great connections to great founders. There's no other event in Germany like DTM; this year and last year, it's just unique—the curated approach, the vast networking opportunities, the people in the room. I've never seen that at any other conference. DTM is the marketplace for the next generation of European companies that we so badly need.

During the event, new people meet, deals get made, and we cluster technological advances in key areas—computing, AI, robotics, defence, space and, above all, energy. Hopefully we can push fusion to leverage all of these other technologies. I've prepared well, scheduled meetings via the DTM app, and I'm looking forward to fruitful exchanges and real traction afterwards. My hope is clear: we need larger funds and larger ticket sizes, specifically in deep tech, and I hope the event helps foster that.

DTM moves the needle because you have all the actors of the ecosystem—start-ups, corporates, funders, public authorities—in dialogue, both on individual deals and on moving the ecosystem forward. For me the priority is reaching investors and getting corporates closer, because corporates need to connect to start-ups, fund them and act as leading customers.
