You can build the most exciting technology in Berlin and still lose to a weaker product with a better story.
In deep tech, communication skills aren’t just a nice-to-have — they can make or break your business.
For deep tech entrepreneurs, strong communication helps you:
- Translate technology only a handful of people fully understand into a story anyone can repeat
- Pitch clearly enough that an investor can explain your company to their partner
- Reach new customers through effective cold calls and emails
- Build the interpersonal relationships that turn into pilots and partnerships
We’re excited to welcome Pascal Heymann as our keynote speaker. An experienced coach and pitch trainer, Pascal helps CEOs, academics, and aspiring entrepreneurs communicate with confidence, spark interest, and deliver presentations that make a lasting impact.
ALSO ON THE NIGHT
- Startup pitches
- The chance to connect with your fellow researchers, entrepreneurs and industry professionals from across Berlin’s deep tech scene
- Drinks & Food
This edition of xG-Afterwork meets PhD2CEO is presented in collaboration with Berlin Quantum, Silicon Allee, and OpTecBB.
