Online Demo Day 2026 – Constructor Start

Deutsche Version

The Startup Showcase

This cohort proves that the next wave of global startups – with a core focus on Software+, Deep Tech, and EdTech – isn't just 'AI-enabled'; it's AI-native. We are tracking a total reconstruction of industry foundations across four key pillars.

Highlights

AI-as-a-Service: Moving beyond SaaS to outcome-based models where AI delivers the final work, not just the tools.
Agent-Ready Infrastructure: Building the essential protocols, APIs, and sensing layers for autonomous machine-to-machine ecosystems.
Physical Frontiers: Tackling the critical bottlenecks in compute, energy, and hardware that constrain the next generation of AI.
Vertical Systems: Reimagining complex workflows in health and industry through specialized, AI-native operating systems.
