When research becomes real: Tangible Tomorrow Program - Demo Day

Back to overview

In November, hubraum and T-Labs launched a new incubation format: Tangible Tomorrow Program. It brings together universities, academia, startups, spin-offs, and Deutsche Telekom experts to bridge the gap between research and application — turning early ideas into tangible proof-of-concepts and pilots.

Come for bold tech, honest learnings, and new connections across founders, researchers, Deutsche Telekom experts, and the ecosystem at the program's demo day.

 

Together with TU Berlin, TU Dresden, TU München, TU Kaiserslautern, Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), we selected four spinoffs and startups for the first badge. After three months of collaborative development with their Telekom mentors, the young entrepreneurs will present their results at the program's Demo Day, to which you are cordially invited.

 

Expect live demos, honest learnings, and open conversations with founders, researchers, and Telekom colleagues.

📅: February 4, 2025

🕒: 14:00 - 18:00

📍: hubraum Berlin
