From universities and research to the next generation of deep-tech ventures
Scientific discovery is accelerating, opening new possibilities across deep tech, energy, microelectronics and critical technologies.
Join university leaders, deep-tech founders, investors and industry leaders exploring how breakthrough research can move from the lab to market, scale globally and build the next generation of technology champions.
New Frontiers is a shared programme with MWC Barcelona, exploring the breakthrough technologies pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, from quantum technologies and non-terrestrial networks to physical AI and the foundational research behind them.
At 4YFN, we bring the startup ecosystem into the picture, connecting research, deep-tech ventures, investors and industry to help breakthrough innovation move from the lab to market.
European market independence is fighting for its own future. Technologies contributing to European sovereignty have a distinct attractiveness and commercial upside that legacy tech lacks.
Floodwaive, winner of the 4YFN26 University Spin-off Pitch Battle, is a great example of breakthrough research turning into real-world impact and the kind of ambitious innovation taking centre stage.
Discover how universities and research hubs are becoming innovation powerhouses. This track explores how a business mindset and effective tech transfer strategies transform groundbreaking academic research into successful commercial ventures. Meet pioneering spin-offs and deep tech leaders who are driving the next wave of economic growth and innovation.
