The PSP Conference 2026 brings together deep-tech founders, scale-ups, investors, companies, research institutions, and representatives from politics and the public sector to discuss a key question: How can we restart, scale up, and succeed in challenging times?

Under the overarching theme of RESTART, the following topics will be a particular focus in 2026:

  • Scaling startups from regional ecosystems into global markets
  • Authentic entrepreneurial journeys—including failure, resilience, and second chances
  • Exits, financing strategies, and the perspective of investors
  • Practical insights from founders, VCs, and business angels
  • Programs to support and connect innovators in the deep-tech ecosystem
