International Network

The DEEP Community organizes multiple conferences per year, e.g. the DEEP Ecosystems Conference as well as partner events (e.g. in collaboration with the European Commission DG Connect) or within its portfolio projects (e.g. Alt-F Summit on the Future of Work). We also are present during many of the large scale tech conferences like WebSummit, SXSW, MWC, etc. You will be able to participate as a speaker or panelist during a partner or policy event, run a workshop (DEEP Dive) during the DEEP Ecosystems Conference and more.

Ecosystem Growth

With the 6-week DEEP Startup Ecosystem Accelerator, the DEEP Community creates new ecosystem initiatives in their members’ communities. Together, we attract international partners from the VC and Corporate world to build growth coalitions in the local context. In capitals, the focus is on verticalization or internationalization, and in secondary cities, on the build-up of ecosystems.

Innovation Scouting

DEEP tracks the best early-stage startups in Europe and offers the opportunity to capture the most important accelerator programs in a detailed tracking of their portfolio as part of the collab activities.
