The PhD2CEO Seminar Series targets advanced students, young scientists, and startup enthusiasts interested in scientific entrepreneurship and deep-tech startups, with a particular focus on optical, quantum, and microelectronics technologies. As a part of Berlin Quantum activities, we strongly encourage quantum-eager minds to join! Also if you come from business and other fields and are still interested in these topics.
The seminars cover various science-startup-related topics, including the startup journey, funding strategy and insights from experienced speakers. It also features pitch training and culminates with a first-class stage at Photonics Days 2026 as the closing event.
Participation is at no-cost and we offer a participation certificate for those who meet the minimum attendance requirement (events are in Berlin, presential-only). Participate and get to know like-minded people, maybe, your future co-founder! Spread the word and register soon! (limited availability)
The seminar series starts on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at Leap and takes place every last Thursday of the month until October (closing at the Photonics Days 2026).
