The future is taking off faster than anyone thought possible thanks to the builders pulling science fiction from the pages of imagination and into reality right here in the Bay Area.

SF Deep Tech Week brings together 4500+ people across 40+ events over a week dedicated to startups building at the frontiers of science and technology: Aerospace, Defense, Nuclear Energy, Neurotech, Bio, Computing Hardware, Robotics, and more.

The week starts on the USS Hornet with a showcase of hardware demos from startups building in the Bay, alongside DeLoreans, Cybertrucks, Flying Boats, Supersonic Aircrafts, and Robots of all shapes and sizes.
