A working hackathon-style afternoon at Huis De Pinto — the historic merchant house turned community venue in the Nieuwmarkt area — built around the Public Stack model. Run as part of the PublicSpaces Conference and funded by the EU's DIGISET programme, the session has participants map their organisation's full digital landscape (materials, protocols, business model, interfaces) and explicitly test how their values translate into technology choices. The format is most useful for impact-driven founders, non-profit and cooperative SMEs, and tech companies working on public-interest infrastructure. Ticket includes free access to the morning and afternoon PublicSpaces Conference at Pakhuis de Zwijger the same day.

Demo Day for the eighth cohort of the AMS Startup Booster — AMS Institute's 20-week urban-tech accelerator. Ten ventures present what they have built after months of customer discovery, prototyping and testing, working on circular materials, climate resilience, digital infrastructure for cities and social inclusion. Audience includes corporate innovation leads, public sector partners, academic researchers and investors looking for Amsterdam-grounded urban-tech deal flow.

GreenTech Amsterdam is the world's #1 horticulture technology event — the place where robotics in greenhouses, precision growing, climate-control AI, vertical farming, water and energy systems, and ag-data platforms come together. Three days of exhibitions, knowledge sessions and structured matchmaking with market leaders, scale-ups and researchers from across the global horticulture-tech sector. If you work in agritech, foodtech, robotics, sensors/IoT, climatetech or data platforms applied to food production, this is a key event in the European calendar.

The day before Hello Tomorrow Summit — Europe's premier deep tech event — lands in Amsterdam for the first time, the city makes its own statement. Amsterdam Deep Tech Showcase is a city-organised day at CRCL Park, Marineterrein, designed to show exactly where Amsterdam has earned the right to play in the global deep tech conversation. Three focus areas: Future of Compute (AI and quantum algorithms); Future of Sustainable Systems (climate tech and green chemistry); Future of Life Sciences & Health (biotech and medtech). Speakers include Mayor Femke Halsema, Guido van Rossum (creator of Python), Kiki Lauwers (CEO, Thorizon), Jelle Prins (co-founder, Cradle) and Sander van Deventer (co-founder, VectorY Therapeutics). An Innovation Market and 10 breakout sessions complete the programme. Brought to you by the City of Amsterdam, with Amsterdam University, VU, Amsterdam UMC and Amsterdam Science Park. Registrations are curated — apply early.

After more than a decade in Paris, Europe's leading deep tech summit moves to Amsterdam for the first time. Hello Tomorrow 2026 brings 3,000+ founders, investors, researchers, corporates and policymakers to NDSM Producties — Amsterdam's iconic waterfront industrial space — for two days of serious deep tech programming across 4 stages and 125 exhibitors. The summit focuses on the breakthroughs and strategic priorities that matter most to the deep tech sector right now: healthcare innovation, climate technology, advanced computing, food & agriculture systems, resilience and sovereignty. The Deep Tech Days programme (June 8–10) also runs across Amsterdam this week, offering additional side events for the global deep tech community arriving in the city. This is the flagship event for anyone investing in, building on, or partnering with Europe's most ambitious science-to-market ventures.

An unofficial Hello Tomorrow side event held at the STRAAT Museum, pulling in the international deep tech community arriving in Amsterdam that week. Curated showcase of ventures emerging from the DT Launch Pad — a year-long European programme that supports research-based teams from leading universities through training, mentoring and early commercialisation. Short pitches followed by structured networking. No Hello Tomorrow ticket required — this is an open evening for investors, founders and operators who want early visibility on the strongest research-driven deep tech companies in Europe.

Four-day hands-on information security training event in Amsterdam from SpecterOps — the US offensive-security firm behind BloodHound and a regular fixture on the conference circuit. Two parallel courses run across the week: Adversary Tactics: Identity-Driven Offensive Tradecraft (deep-dive into attacking modern hybrid identity, including Entra ID and on-prem AD), and Adversary Perspectives: Azure (foundational Azure / Entra ID attack and defence, with hands-on labs). Paid professional training — relevant for security engineers, blue-team leads and red-team operators. Virtual attendance option for those who can't make it to Amsterdam.

Grand finale of Innovators Arena 2026 at the E|SPORTS TECH CAMPUS (H20 Esports Stadium) in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Eight selected startups pitch on stage to a room of investors, corporate innovation leads and partners; all programme participants — including teams not pitching — showcase live demos and real-world applications from 18:30. Notable because the venue itself is a Living Lab — innovations are tested in operation, not just on slides.

Third edition of the Digital Twin Tech Summit at Park Plaza Victoria. Two days bringing decision-makers, innovators and technologists together around the practical adoption of digital twins — manufacturing, smart buildings, energy, mobility. Case studies, panels and structured networking; useful for product, engineering and ops leaders at companies digitising physical operations.
