Tech Events at Imperial College London, London

with Se Yong Park (Co-founder, Fomo)

Imperial Entrepreneurs hosts Se Yong Park, co-founder of Fomo, the social trading app. The company reports a $550M valuation in just over a year, a $75M Series B led by Index Ventures, 600K+ users and $4B+ in trading volume, with Benchmark and USV among its backers. He'll walk through how he built, scaled and raised. 18:00 to 19:00 at Imperial College London in South Kensington. Free. Why go: a one-hour, first-hand account of a very fast fundraise from someone who did it. Best for student and early-stage founders. The figures are the company's own claims, so ask for the detail.

Water, Energy, Wildfires. Interconnected Security Challenges.

Imperial College's late-opening showcase of its robotics research: meet the robots, see what the labs are working on and talk to the researchers behind it. 18:00 to 21:00. Three practical things the organisers want known in advance. Imperial Lates are for an 18+ audience; registration gets you into the building but does not reserve a seat at any individual talk or workshop, which are first-come, first-served; and entry is via the College Main Entrance on Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ. All spaces, the entrance and the toilets are wheelchair accessible, with lifts to the upper levels. Why go: direct access to working researchers and their hardware, free, with no sales layer in between — the opposite of a robotics trade show. Best for engineers, investors looking at deep tech, and anyone who wants to see what is actually on the bench rather than in a launch video.

A one-day open-models hackathon at Imperial College London, run by Noetic with the Nebius Developer Community and Imperial Entrepreneurs. The brief is deliberately open: pick a task from your work or studies you would like a model to handle, then build it on Nebius Token Factory and show a working demo by the end of the day. Roughly 60 places, applications reviewed on a rolling basis, teams of three to five with matching at the start for solo applicants. The day runs from check-in and account setup at 10:00 through a live Token Factory demo, a challenge brief, building from 11:30 with Nebius developers on the floor as mentors, submissions at 16:30, demos at 16:45 and prizes at 17:30. Free tokens and food throughout. Why go: a full build day with mentors from the inference provider in the room, not a talk about open models. Best for engineers, ML practitioners and students who want something shipped by the evening.

How can trust in sustainable cybersecurity for modern computing systems be established, measured, communicated, and maintained?

RITICS FEST is a two-day workshop on cyber-physical systems security at Imperial College London, bringing together the UK's industrial control systems and critical-infrastructure security research community with practitioners.

A full day of Gemini and Gemma built with Google DeepMind engineers, hosted by Imperial FinTech & Blockchain at Imperial College London. Deep-dive talks from the Gemini team, then a mini hackathon sprint where you prototype agentic workflows and tools against the Gemini APIs and open-weight Gemma models, then food, drinks and networking with London founders, developers and researchers. Free, approval required, and effectively full at the time of listing — join the queue if the button says waitlist.
