Description

For the third year in a row, TNO Fast Track will once again be present in Enschede. As a partner of FUSE Enschede, TNO Fast Track is organizing and curating its fifth CTO Unconference for:

  • Deeptech CTOs and CSOs
  • Technical founders
  • Senior technical leaders

Why participate?

This Unconference is designed for CTOs like you and provides a trusted environment to:

✅ Share your challenges and receive input from experienced peers
✅ Learn from different approaches and gain fresh perspectives
✅ Expand your network with like-minded technology leaders

What is a CTO Unconference?

The purpose of a CTO Unconference is peer-to-peer learning. Participants learn from one another through multiple discussion rounds and groups. For example, three rounds with three groups create nine opportunities for valuable conversations. The expertise, challenges, and questions brought by the participants shape the agenda. What makes this format valuable is that it focuses on the topics that matter most to you. You introduce the themes that are relevant to your work, whether it is a challenge you are looking to solve or an insight you would like to share with others.

It is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day hustle and focus on strategic topics. These can vary widely, including:

🧱 The building blocks for success as your company grows
🔬 How to build an asset-light development approach
🎓 Making the transition from science and academia to entrepreneurship
💡 Designing with manufacturability in mind
💸 Exchanging practical tips on fundraising
📝 Developing your patent strategy
🧲 The dos and don'ts of attracting and retaining talent
🛒 Knowing when your product is ready for the market
🥷 How to establish an agile hardware development process
🗳️ The personal choices you have made as an entrepreneur
... and any best practices, lessons learned, or failures that others can learn from.
