What is this about

100 of Europe's most influential venture clienting and CVC leaders — turning deep tech and AI into enterprise competitiveness.

Co-hosted with 27pilots, we convene Europe's leading venture clienting and CVC experts in peer-moderated, industry-specific roundtables.

One objective: make venture clienting, CVC, and startup collaboration a board-level priority — to unlock new revenue, cut costs, and drive enterprise competitiveness.

Across venture capital, corporate investment, and enterprise spending, more than $50B flows into AI in Europe every year.

Yet real adoption still lags. Only one in five European enterprises currently uses AI in its operations. This is the gap we must close.

At Deep Tech Momentum 2026, we are convening a private, invite-only summit bringing together a small group of founders, enterprise leaders, and investors focused on one thing: turning AI investment into real industrial impact.

Our ambition is simple but ambitious:

Launch 100 new enterprise AI collaborations in a single afternoon.

The companies in the room will ignite the next wave of productivity across European industry. The ones outside will watch it happen – and get left behind.
