About this event
Building on their respective successes, the Matinée Deeptech (Dynergie & France Deeptech) and the Deeptech Forum organized by Mines Paris-PSL students are joining forces for a special edition in 2026.
Held on March 18 at the Ministry of the Economy, 139 rue de Bercy, 75012 Paris, the Deeptech Forum 2026 is a central part of European Deeptech Week, organized by Bpifrance, Inskip, and EuroQuity, serving as an official side event and bringing together the entire French deeptech ecosystem.
Researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and public policymakers will come together to accelerate the scaling up of deep tech innovations, with the goal of building a sustainable and self-reliant future.
Deeptech Forum 2026
The Deeptech Morning, organized by Dynergie and France Deeptech, and the Deeptech Forum organized by students at Mines Paris – PSL are joining forces for a special edition of the Deeptech Forum in 2026.
This groundbreaking initiative aims to bring together the entire French deep tech ecosystem by creating a space for rigorous and practical dialogue where researchers, laboratories, startups, industry leaders, investors, support organizations, and public sector stakeholders can collaborate to accelerate disruptive innovation in France.
On March 18 at the Ministry of the Economy, 139 rue de Bercy, 75012 Paris, this unifying event—designed to serve as a catalyst for growth for all key players in the French deep tech sector—aims to transform scientific potential into concrete industrial innovations.
Indeed, in a context marked by planetary limits, geopolitical tensions, and global technological competition, deep tech is no longer an option: it is becoming a major strategic asset. Europe can no longer limit itself to generating ideas or proof-of-concepts; it must industrialize and produce on a large scale in order to strengthen its technological and industrial sovereignty.
That is why the event is taking place as part of European Deeptech Week—organized by Bpifrance, Inskip, and EuroQuity—as an official side event, and is supported by leading partners such as Bpifrance, Ui Investissement, Aster Capital, Dynergie, and France Deeptech.
The Deeptech Forum 2026 – Innovating for a Sustainable Future – has established itself as the premier gathering for science, industry, and finance; a must-attend event for experts and key players in the French deeptech sector committed to building responsible and sovereign innovation.
Who is this event for?
The event is aimed at the deep tech ecosystem: entrepreneurs and startups, students and faculty at PSL University, incubators and accelerators, all investors (VCs, CVCs, funds, business angels, etc.), public companies and institutions, as well as local governments.
What are the goals of the event?
This edition will highlight the key role of French deep tech in driving growth rooted in the real economy, balancing value creation, economic performance, and respect for planetary boundaries.
Highlights:
- Keynotes and Panel Discussions: Inspiring talks by experts and innovation leaders.
- Roundtable Discussions: In-depth discussions on the societal impacts of deep tech (environment, economy, society).
- Thematic workshops: organized by Dynergie (product marketing and go-to-market strategies)

Program
The program consists of three parts:
- ACT 1 - WHY IS DEEPTECH NECESSARY? This segment puts the emergence of deeptech as the successor to the digital revolution into perspective, analyzing how this new wave of disruptive innovation simultaneously addresses the challenges of global technological competition and the imperative of planetary boundaries to structurally rethink our modes of production and innovation.
- ACT II - HOW DO WE SCALE UP? This segment focuses on the drivers of scaling up, addressing issues related to reindustrialization, financing (particularly through IPOs), and public procurement, to determine how to transform proof-of-concept projects into sustainable industry leaders.
- ACT III - THE PILLARS OF SOVEREIGNTY This segment explores the pillars of sovereignty through presentations focused on health, defense, and energy/materials, with the aim of analyzing how deep tech innovation can transform scientific excellence into industrial and strategic power in the face of global challenges.
