Aalto University will partner with NORDEEP for the Nordic Deep Tech Business Summit at Dipoli on September 16-17, 2026. NORDEEP focuses on the commercialisation of science-driven innovations.

Aalto’s exhibition booth will serve as a meeting point where visitors can learn more about Aalto’s incubator and accelerator programs, and where investors, industry representatives, and public funding bodies can connect with innovative Aalto founders and researchers and their Research to Business (R2B) commercialisation projects.

As research has the greatest impact when it reaches people’s everyday lives, Aalto encourages its researchers to take their top-tier work beyond academic publications. To support this, Aalto is offering tickets to members of the Aalto community to attend NORDEEP, explore the deep tech startup landscape, and connect with peers who have already ventured into it.
