Scaling Globally: A Deep Tech Networking Night

Some of the world’s best entrepreneurs are not born in the United States. The question is: how do they successfully scale here? Join Mind the Bridge and OGR Tech for an evening bringing together founders, venture investors, corporate innovation leaders, and ecosystem builders to explore what it really takes for international startups to build a lasting presence in the US. Hear directly from leading venture and corporate investors who have built a track record of helping international startups scale globally. Going beyond fundraising, the discussion will explore how investors create value through customers, strategic partnerships, talent, and market access—and what separates the international startups that successfully establish themselves in the US from those that don’t. The discussion is complemented by lightning pitches from 15 deep tech scaleups (1-10M$ revenues) selected by OGR Tech, one of Europe’s leading deep tech investors and innovation hubs. Working across AI, robotics, industrial technologies, advanced manufacturing, climate technologies, and other frontier sectors, these companies are currently entering the US market through the OGR Global Scaling Program. The evening concludes with networking over drinks and light refreshments—a chance to discover promising technologies, meet founders, investors, corporate innovation leaders, and build new partnerships.
