Panel: Deeptech at scale: Overcoming barriers to bring breakthroughs to industry

Deeptech breakthroughs are accelerating but turning them into real-world solutions remains one of the hardest challenges in innovation. Scaling deep tech requires far more than innovation, it requires the right infrastructure, partners, and ecosystem working in sync.

This panel brings together leaders from Atlas DS, Vertical Compute, Hypervision Surgical, Density AI, and imec.ventures. Together, they illustrate how breakthrough ideas evolve from early scientific promise to realworld impact, each facing unique technical, regulatory, and manufacturing hurdles along the way.

Across a fastpaced conversation, the panel will explore:

• The core problems these companies are solving in data storage, AI compute, surgical imaging, and edge sensing;

• The scaling barriers that arise as deeptech innovations move from lab to industry;

• And how deep tech ultimately scales through connected ecosystems and not in isolation.
