Conception X Demo Day 2025 – Livestream
The Conception X Demo Day is back this November – in partnership with XTX Ventures, Barclays Eagle Labs, Orrick and Azerion.
Don’t miss the UK and Europe’s leading showcase of startups founded by PhD researchers.
Earlier this year, we selected 122 high-potential PhD research projects from 37 universities across the UK and Europe. On 13 November, we’ll unveil the top teams from Cohort 8 to an invite-only audience of investors, industry leaders and deeptech experts.
You’ll hear from up to 15 new, investment-ready deeptech companies building across novel AI, the future of computing, synthetic biology, energy and more.
Full agenda to be announced soon.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event. Please note this is an invite to join the Demo Day livestream via Zoom. If you would like to attend in person, please get in touch – [email protected].
*This event will be recorded, and livestream access will be shared with registered attendees ahead of the event.
