Opening Dinner: Building Trust

  • The Summit opens with an intimate dinner hosted in Berlin. Senior corporate leaders, investors, and policymakers will gather in a trusted setting to confront a pressing question: Can Europe still lead?

Day 2
Wednesday, November 26, 2025
  • Opening
  • Session 1: Applied AI Salon – The Future of Humanity
    AI adoption is accelerating, but AGI and systemic risks loom large. Senior voices will examine the real horizons for AI, the balance between productivity and resilience, and Europe’s chance to lead responsibly in a rapidly shifting landscape
  • Session 2: Robotics & DeepTech
    From autonomous robots to embodied AI, deployment is moving beyond pilots. This conversation cuts through the hype to ask: what’s real, what’s scaling, and where can Europe still claim leadership in the robotics frontier?
  • Session 3: Geopolitics & Strategic Risk
    Global fragmentation is forcing companies to rethink their strategies. This session explores how corporate investors navigate geopolitical realignment and whether private capital is now shaping Europe’s industrial and defense agendas.
  • Session 4: Energy & Infrastructure
    Europe’s digital ambitions hinge on energy resilience. With data centers, AI, and hyperscalers driving exponential demand, leaders will debate which systemic bets — fusion, grids, hydrogen, nuclear — can secure Europe’s competitiveness in the decades ahead.
  • Networking Lunch
    With an optional academic exchange hosted by Berlin Universities & UNITE.
  • Session 5: Reimagining Value Creation
    AI, climate, and demographics are rewriting the rules of value. This session explores how corporates are redefining success across financial, societal, and environmental dimensions and how venturing can accelerate the shift to new business models.
  • Session 6: AI, Neurotech & Human Potential
    Health and human potential are at the next frontier of innovation. From diagnostics to brain-computer interfaces, we explore how corporates and investors can drive trusted adoption, industrialization, and everyday resilience for workforces and societies.
  • Strategic Roundtables - What's Still Missing?
    Exclusive, senior-level working groups will dive into one central challenge: what’s still missing for Europe’s transformation?
  • Closing Panel: Beyond Growth-at-All-Costs – Building Strategic Capital for Europe
    The era of growth-at-all-costs is over. This panel will define the next playbook for corporate venturing: one that learns from venture failures, M&A fatigue, and creates long-term strategic capital for systemic change.
  • Closing Reflections & Preview of 2026

Request to Join

This is not a traditional conference. The CVC / Open Innovation Summit is a private, senior-level gathering focused on real dialogue and meaningful relationships among the people shaping corporate venture, innovation, and strategic investment.

We’re inviting a maximum of 80 carefully selected participants — mostly CxO, SVP, or Head-of-level decision-makers from Europe, the US, and Asia.

Important:
Every request is personally reviewed by the organizing team. We do not allow delegation or substitutions. This event is about quality, not quantity, and we only confirm leaders directly responsible for corporate venture, innovation, or strategic transformation.

If you're unsure about your fit, feel free to reach out. Otherwise, apply to join below — we’ll follow up shortly.

The summit is taking place during Asia-Berlin's Innovation Week. If you like to learn more click here to join the Asia Berlin Summit on Monday and Tuesday prior to the invite-only CVC | OI Summit.
