Description

Join us to celebrate the first anniversity of the CERN Venture Connect program and the launch of vibrant CVC community dedicated to supporting deep tech startups.

 
Connect with startups, CERN experts, and deep tech partners from the CVC ecosystem and explore how the program is empowering startups with CERN technologies and partnerships across the globe.
 
Expect an agenda full of engaging CVC highlights on stage, featuring speakers from our ecosystem, as well as ample networking opportunities and insights into the operations of the world's largest experiment.
 

 

As this is an invite-only event, and we have limited spots available, the partners and member of the CVC ecosystem will be given priority.

However, we have spots available for CERN employees interested in entrepreneurship.
