Deeptech Investment: aligning risks, opportunities and expectations

June 25 | 5PM

Eric Benhamou (Founder & General Partner, Benhamou Global Ventures), George Ugras (Managing Director, AV8 Ventures and Chairman of INPHO Venture Summit), Jean Schmitt (Managing Partner, Jolt Capital) and Reza Malekzadeh (General Partner, Partech), will bring perspectives from seed to growth and from some of the most consequential deeptech journeys of the past decade:

  • Is AI a temporary cycle, or a structural shift where hardware and industrial tech regain strategic value?
  • What do investors still misunderstand most about deeptech risk today?
  • Can traditional VC models work as capital intensity rises, or does deeptech need new financing structures?
  • How should LPs rethink deeptech multiples, timelines and return profiles?
  • Which sectors are overhyped, and which remain underestimated?

Deeptech Dual-Use & Defense Investment: where are the real opportunities?

June 3 | 5PM

Three investors, Mathieu Costes (Partner, Airbus Ventures), Aymerik Renard (General Partner, Hardware Club) and François Véron (Founding Partner, Newfund), sit on cap tables that span European sovereignty plays, dual-use breakthroughs and transatlantic deeptech. Together they will confront the real questions facing investors today: 

  • Dual-use or pure defense: where is the real risk/return?
  • What credible exits in a single-buyer, export-controlled market?
  • How can a 10-year fund finance a 7-year procurement cycle?
  • Dedicated vehicles, sovereign co-investments, structured debt — or can classical VC adapt?
  • Will European VCs hand their continent’s champions to US cap tables?
