Scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM at the Space Tech Expo 2024 in Bremen, the event will be structured around two key sessions.

The second session will be a panel discussion, featuring investors who will provide insights relevant to entrepreneurs exploring funding pathways within the deeptech sector. This discussion will address the broader impact and importance of investments in deeptech for SME innovation and competitiveness in Europe.
