Advanced Materials Competition is a special edition of Venture Café’s flagship weekly gathering, bringing together the next generation of deep tech startups, investors, corporates, researchers, and innovation ecosystem leaders.
The evening marks the Demo Day of INAM’s Advanced Materials Competition, where selected startups take the stage to present technologies spanning advanced materials, novel manufacturing methods, and smarter, more sustainable systems — showcasing how scientific breakthroughs can move closer to market.
Whether you’re an investor looking for high-potential deep tech ventures, a company searching for solutions to technical challenges, or simply curious about emerging technologies, this is an opportunity to discover new innovations, meet the teams behind them, and connect with the wider deep tech ecosystem.
Start your night with this quick overview of Venture Café, what we do as a community, and how you can make the most of our weekly Thursday Gathering! Bring a friend, grab a beverage, and plug in to the ecosystem - it’s time to connect, learn, and share 💜
In the Demo Table zone you will discover various products, technologies and projects being presented by the founders or startup-representatives.
In the Info Table zone you will find out about projects, organisations and ideas.
However remember, this is NO HARD SALES zone.
We are fully booked for this date! Apply to present at another Gathering:
Unwind, connect, and vibe to the rhythm! This lively session blends casual networking with great music, offering the perfect atmosphere to meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and forge new collaborations. Enjoy the beats, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed, energetic setting.
Meet the next generation of deep tech startups
Demo Day marks the culmination of INAM’s startup program, Advanced Materials Competition, where selected teams present the latest technologies. From advanced materials and novel manufacturing methods to smarter, more sustainable systems, this is where scientific breakthroughs moves closer to market.
Whether you're an investor looking for high-potential ventures or a company searching for solutions to technical challenges, Demo Day is your chance to connect with deep tech startups.
Programme
17.15 Startup pitches (Apoello, Atomiver, Bioprex Medical, Fairbrics, Korymbos Photonics, Movolta, OLEC Technology, qCella Sine Nanotech, Smart Resilin)
18.15 Award ceremony
19.00 Networking reception
A fireside conversation exploring AI today, humans × AI, and the future of AI.
Each speaker will share their own experiences and perspective on how AI is changing the way we work, think and build.
We’ll then look ahead to 2030 and discuss what the future of AI could mean for people, businesses and everyday life.
Uzbekistan is ranked #1 in the world by ecosystem growth rate (StartupBlink). Vsevolod Li, Representative in Europe of IT Park Uzbekistan, gives a short tour of the ecosystem behind that number - 3,800+ IT Park resident companies, 1,000+ digital startups, two unicorns and a fast-growing venture scene - and shows where European startups and investors can plug in.
Most early-stage startups don't need a dedicated data team or a sophisticated data platform. But decisions made when building the first product, databases, analytics, and tracking can either make future data work easy or create years of technical debt. We’ll talk about when to hire your first data person, buy vs. build, what data to collect, GDPR and data retention, and how to prepare for future analytics and AI without overengineering today. I’ll also look at regulated industries such as health and life sciences, where failing to collect the right evidence early can become a serious business problem later.
Hi, I’m Gabriella! I’m a systems operator working at the intersection of business strategy, product, operations and AI-native environments.
I help founders and teams transform ambiguity, fragmented information and operational complexity into clear workflows, decision infrastructure and coordinated execution.
Most recently, I joined Attuned for a short launch-stage operating engagement, working closely with the founding team across operational foundations, AI-enabled internal systems, launch and community operations, user research, cross-functional coordination, external partners and special projects.
Most of my work happens in fast-moving, high-ambiguity contexts where structure is still emerging. In practice, this often means:
• designing workflows and operating systems from scratch
• connecting product, GTM, onboarding and internal operations
• building AI-assisted automations and continuity systems
• structuring information for faster decision-making
• coordinating people, partners and delivery across shifting priorities
