Europe’s Industrial Renaissance
April 22-23 2026, Lausanne
WE BET ON
THE BOLD.
HackSummit 2026 is built around one simple question:
Can we rebuild the physical and economic assets society depends on, now that the assumptions behind them are breaking down?
The systems we used to rely on were designed for geopolitical stability, abundant labour, and predictable global trade.
These conditions no longer hold.
Supply chains are constrained, energy and materials are volatile, labour is tightening, and climate pressure is imposing real physical limits.
This is not a software problem. It is an infrastructure problem.
And in a fragmented world, infrastructure is power.
The next decade will be shaped by those who can build and scale critical assets under constraint: physical, biological, regulatory or geopolitical.
Enter HackSummit.
Across Industrial Renaissance and Food Sovereignty, HackSummit brings together founders and investors who:
- Operate inside real constraints
- Build in physics, biology, and chemistry
- Know that scale is earned through execution, not narrative
HackSummit is for founders and investors building systems where failure is costly, timelines are long, and outcomes materially shape the world.
