Storytelling for Deeptech - Making Complex Innovation Clear and Compelling

Share this event

Deeptech founders often have to explain highly technical ideas to audiences who don't share the same technical background. Whether you're speaking with a potential customer, investor, strategic partner, or industry stakeholder, being able to clearly communicate not only what you've built, but why it matters, is critical.

 

This workshop helps founders turn complex technologies and technical expertise into stories that audiences can understand, remember, and act on. Participants will explore how to communicate the problem they're solving, connect their technology to meaningful outcomes, and determine which technical details strengthen their story versus which can distract from the larger message. The session will also examine how the same core story can be adapted for different audiences without losing its substance or credibility. Through practical exercises, founders will work on making their own company story clearer and more engaging while preserving what makes their technology differentiated.

 

Who Should Attend

  • Deeptech and hardtech founders
  • Technical founders who struggle to simplify their company story
  • Scientists and engineers commercializing new technologies
  • Founders preparing to speak with customers, investors, or strategic partners
  • Startup teams developing pitch, marketing, or commercialization messaging
  • Entrepreneurs working in complex or highly technical industries
