Hello Tomorrow Global Summit 2026

Hello Tomorrow Global Summit 2026 is a deep tech event scheduled for 11 to 12 June 2026 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Part of the broader Deep Tech Days, the summit brings together startups, investors, corporates, scientists, and innovation leaders around technologies shaping long-term industrial, economic, and societal change. The 2026 edition is positioned around areas such as resilience, sovereignty, sustainability, climate, energy, healthcare, food and agriculture, advanced computing, investor insights, and the deep tech startup journey.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the summit is to create a high-level platform for deep tech innovation, collaboration, and commercialisation. It is designed to connect breakthrough science and engineering with the investors, industrial partners, and ecosystem actors needed to scale solutions. The programme also focuses on how deep tech can address major global challenges while strengthening industrial value chains, competitiveness, and long-term strategic capability.

Key Activities

The summit features keynotes, panels, debates, stage programming, startup pitches, exhibitions, and networking sessions. It includes the Hello Tomorrow Challenge Finals, where selected startups pitch on stage, as well as discussions on scaling and financing emerging technologies. The event also offers side events for investors, LPs, startups, and open innovation managers, plus an online networking tool to help attendees plan meetings in advance. The 2026 edition highlights 3,000+ attendees, 100 speakers, 4 stages, and 125 exhibitors.

Significance

The summit is significant because it brings together multiple parts of the deep tech ecosystem in one place, from frontier startups and researchers to industrial groups and specialist investors. Its focus goes beyond general innovation themes and centres on technologies with longer development cycles, stronger scientific foundations, and higher industrial relevance. That makes it especially valuable for participants interested in how breakthrough technologies move from research and early-stage development into financing, partnerships, and real-world deployment.

Expected Outcomes

Attendees can expect exposure to emerging deep tech companies, investor perspectives, industry collaboration opportunities, and debate on the wider societal and ethical implications of new technologies. The summit is also intended to support business development, ecosystem building, and stronger links between research, capital, and market application. Participants are likely to leave with new partnerships, broader market insight, and a clearer understanding of where deep tech momentum is building.
