About this Event
The Deep Tech Institute at the Pittsburgh Robotics Network is hosting its inaugural Leadership Summit with a focus on “Growing Businesses in Deep Tech”. This premier event will convene decision makers from middle management to c-suite levels of leadership at more established companies as well as founders and entrepreneurs from early stage startups to engage in programming that advances robotics, ai, and deep tech businesses to commercialization and beyond.
In addition to the panel discussion and fireside chat on the main stage, there will be interactive, expert-led roundtable discussions for attendees to dig deeper into specific topics and early afternoon networking to cap off the day of programming.
This event is taking place as our regional cluster of companies is growing into new spaces, securing vital investments, and producing real-world products that are solving real problems across an array of industries. Join the conversation and contribute to the continued growth and success of our sector as global leaders in robotics, AI, and deep tech.
Early bird pricing is available through September 18th.
