The INPHO Venture Summit programme is designed to deliver high-impact, investor-driven insights across the most strategic deeptech sectors. Over two days, participants engage in curated discussions, closed-door sessions and high-level networking formats to explore emerging investment opportunities, challenge assumptions and identify future value creation drivers.
Each session is built to go beyond consensus, fostering critical thinking and actionable intelligence for investors, corporates and selected startups.
The programme combines multiple formats to maximise interaction and strategic value:
• Keynote sessions: High-level perspectives from leading investors and industry experts
• Closed-door roundtables: In-depth discussions to confront investment theses
• Deep dive sessions: Focused analysis on specific technologies and market dynamics
• Startup pitch sessions: Selected companies present to top-tier investors
• 1-to-1 meetings: Curated business meetings to accelerate partnerships and investments
This multi-format approach ensures both strategic vision and practical deal-making opportunities.
