MXT is where Northern Dutch deep tech founders find the investors who understand what early-phase innovation actually takes. Founders and investors are invited to join us in Groningen for a curated day of matchmaking, insight and connection, built around the problems Europe genuinely needs solved.
MXT brings focus to four themes: MedTech, Life Sciences, Applied AI and Climate Tech — research carried out in labs and institutes within cycling distance of each other, at a level few regions can match. Whether you’re building, investing, or looking to meet the people already doing both, this is where the Northern Netherlands shows what it’s building.
Save the date: 13 January 2027.
MXT2027 — Inspiration, growth, connection and momentum. The North has ambitions. Come build them with us.

At MXT, we believe Northern Dutch innovation deserves the attention it needs to grow. Deep research in MedTech, Life Sciences, Applied AI and Climate Tech — carried out in labs and institutes within cycling distance of each other, at a level few regions can match. Build first, tell later isn’t a strategy here. It’s simply how things get done.
MXT focuses on bringing the right people into the same room: founders working on the problems Europe genuinely needs solved, and the investors who understand what early-phase deep tech actually takes.
MXT takes place in January, at the Niemeyer Fabriek in Groningen in the week Europe is already here for ESNS. Music has the power to change every room. But the heart of the program is connection: a curated room of founders meeting investors, matched in advance.
Our motto is clear: Move forward with tech.
"My set-up, B.A.B.Y., is more than technology; it's an extension of my artistic soul. I was thrilled to share this fusion of senses with an audience as passionate about the intersection of art and innovation as I am."
''It was an incredible opportunity to connect with inspiring industry leaders and exchange ideas that push the boundaries of innovation in sound.''
''What stands out at MXT is the intimacy. It creates the perfect environment to meet inspiring people as a founder.''
“Making music is all about technology. My whole life is surrounded by technology. To compose, distribute and share music; it is all technology. MXT in three words? Next time bigger!”
"The power of MXT is in the raw, honest founder stories, they motivate while offering real insights."
“An event like MXT is needed because you want to attract a critical number of startups in different domains. At MXT it is media and tech, investors and founders. So you bring them together and that is where they connect."
MXT Ambassadors are a small circle of entrepreneurs and leaders who believe the future of technology emerges where worlds converge.
They bring vision, experience and an international perspective, helping MXT attract the right voices and ideas for its next phase.
