What's next to invest in DeepTech?13-14 October 2022

Investing in early-stage startups is not about addressing today’s issues, it is about fixing tomorrow’s problems.
The next two years will surely look very different than the past two years.
THE EVENT
Since 2008, INPHO Venture Summit is a high-end space where LPs, private investors, and large corporations meet to invest in promising solutions to shape the future. The event aims to tackle our world’s most pressing challenges through disruptive technologies.
INPHO Venture Summit is a unique biennial where top-notch investors challenge deep tech investment opportunities to address today but especially tomorrow’s challenges in the current tumultuous macro environment. INPHO is deeply appreciated by top decision-makers looking to meet their peers, share knowledge and analysis, and identify investment opportunities through intensive exchange of views in condensed and efficient sessions.
