Events

Coffee, breakfast bites, and the deep tech community in one room. Bakar Labs for Energy & Materials, the Berkeley Gateway Accelerator, and COMPASS are teaming up for a Friday morning of good conversation — founders, investors, researchers, corporate innovators, and government partners all in the mix. Come share what you're building, trade notes on where the industry's headed, and leave with a few connections worth keeping.

FireBreak is an ongoing event series hosted by the Berkeley Gateway Accelerator (BGA) and the Berkeley Institute for Security and Governance (BISG), defining how the East Bay’s academic, research, entrepreneurial, and policy communities can work together to advance wildfire innovation.

Green tech founders face a specific set of problems — mission vs. margin, patents vs. adoption, funding that doesn't look like anyone else's. Join BGA and Vedder Price for office hours, a panel on getting green tech from lab to market.

Join Berkeley Gateway Accelerator and NOVA Robotics Institute for an evening featuring a lightning talk on commercializing robotics, live pitches from early-stage founders, and a judging panel of investors and industry leaders. Stick around to network with founders, researchers, investors, and operators—and see the teams building what’s next in robotics.
