Excited to announce our talks:

pg_lake: Unifying transactional and analytical data with Postgres
by Celeste Horgan, Sr. OSS Developer Advocate at Snowflake.

The common wisdom goes: data is either transactional or analytical, and workloads are OLTP and OLAP-shaped to match. The reality of generating and using data is different, and often we need a bit of both. The pg_lake extension brings OLAP workloads to OLTP Postgres.

This talk will explore the pg_lake extension, including how to build it, and demos of using it with modern data workloads in object storage like Amazon S3. We’ll create simple data pipelines with no ETL and high performance analytics.

I Didn't Know Postgres Could Do That!
by Robert Treat, Principal Database Engineer at AWS and PostgreSQL Major Contributor.

PostgreSQL is often thought of as "The Database for DBAs", but what more and more developers are finding out is that what makes Postgres "The Worlds Most Advanced Open Source Database" is its wide array of features, many of which are really geared towards engineers building applications on top of Postgres. In this talk, we'll look at some of the features in Postgres you may not have seen in other database systems, and talk about how you can make use of those features in your applications. Queries, indexing, data types, and more will all be up for discussion as we show you examples of just what Postgres can do.

AGENDA
TBA

A curated Berlin gathering for founders, investors, and corporate builders working on real Deep Tech and hardware ventures

Hard Tech Factory Talks: "From Lab to €100M Business"

Most Deep Tech ventures do not fail because the technology is weak. They fail because scaling hardware, science-based products, and physical-world systems is brutally difficult.

The first Hard Tech Factory Talks in Berlin brings together a curated group of founders, investors, and corporate decision-makers for a direct conversation on what stops Deep Tech ventures from scaling and what it takes to fix it.

Hosted by nFrontier by Creative Dock, Marvelous DeepTech Fund, and REFLEX Aerospace, the evening is designed for people actively building, funding, or backing hard technology ventures.

What to expect

The session will include a short welcome from nFrontier, a clear point of view on the realities of scaling Deep Tech, and a fireside conversation with Walter Ballheimer, CEO of REFLEX Aerospace, on what it takes to scale hardware from technical promise to commercial momentum.

We will also explore what investors are really looking for, what still struggles to get funded, and how corporates can work more effectively with Deep Tech ventures. Guests will also get a closer look at nFrontier’s Hardware Lab and XR/VR Spatial Computing team.

The evening will close with drinks, networking, and curated introductions between founders, investors, and corporate leaders.

Who should attend

This event is for:

• Deep Tech and hardware founders
• investors backing science-based and industrial ventures
• corporate venture, strategy, and innovation leaders
• selected operators from the wider Deep Tech ecosystem

Important note

Attendance is FREE, but limited and curated. Registering interest does not guarantee a place. We are keeping the room small to make the discussion and introductions genuinely valuable.

The talk will be held in English to accommodate our international guests.

24 hours. Four tracks. Build something real on Needle's platform. Part of Mai ist für AI 2026 at 42 Berlin.

Build What Works.

No demos for the sake of demos. In 24 hours, you build something real on Needle's platform. Something that runs. Something you can show. Something that solves an actual problem. The best build wins.

About the Hackathon

This May, as part of Mai ist für AI 2026, 42 Berlin is partnering with Needle, a Berlin-based AI platform built for teams that actually have to ship, to host a hands-on hackathon open to 42 Berlin students and the wider Berlin tech community.

You'll spend 24 hours building features and integrations directly within the Needle platform, across four challenge tracks. The Needle team will be on-site for the entire event to mentor and support participants. A 42 Berlin alumna with industry software engineering experience will also be available throughout.

You ship something. You demo it. A jury decides who built the best thing.

Over €500 in prizes to win, food, drinks, and a direct line into Needle’s team for anyone who impresses them. Winners will be considered for fast-track interviews.

Some coding experience required. Curiosity about AI tools and automation: mandatory.

Teams will form on-site at the start of Day 1. Participants can of course come with a team already in mind, but it’s not required.

Participants should bring their own laptop. We’ll have external monitors to connect to, but please bring your own USB-C adaptor, if needed.

About Needle

Needle is a Berlin and San Francisco-based AI platform for enterprise search, agent development, and workflow automation. Founded in 2024 by Jan Heimes and Onur Eken, the platform unifies data across tools like Confluence, Slack, Gmail, GitHub, and Dropbox, and uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to power accurate, context-aware AI agents and applications.

Backed by 468 Capital and Presight Capital, Needle works with teams who care about security, precision, and shipping real AI systems into production. Its platform, APIs, and MCP support make it one of the most builder-friendly AI infrastructures coming out of Berlin right now.

Challenge Tracks

Pick one of four tracks to build in:

UX/UI and Page Design — Build or redesign interfaces within the Needle platform.

Workflows and Collections — Create automated workflows and structured data collections.

Build Using APIs — Develop integrations and extensions using Needle's API.

Build MCP Servers — Build Model Context Protocol servers that connect to the Needle application.

Build your own bicycle dynamo and light — and power it without ever touching the wheel!

Description:

Generate your own battery-less electricity on your bike!

In this open source project, we're building a contactless bicycle dynamo: a small generator that powers your bike lights using nothing but the spin of your wheel. But wait.. there's more. It doesnt even make contact with your wheel! By using a physics phenomenon called eddy currents - swirling loops of electric current induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field - you can generate enough power to light up a bike light, no batteries required!

We will learn about how this cool phenomenon works and then will be assembling our own dynamo and light.

Each participant will get a kit that includes

1x - Dynamo

1x - red/white bike light

Join us at the Circular Tech Awards where we celebrate and honour innovative tech solutions that promote sustainability and circular economy

🌍 Welcome to the Circular Tech Awards

📅 Saturday 5 September 2026📍 JW Marriott Hotel, Berlin

Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Circular Tech Awards (CTA), building on the great success of The Circular Tech Awards 2025 when over 250 innovators, leaders, and changemakers got together to redefine the future of tech + sustainability.

These are the first-ever awards dedicated to celebrating excellence in the second-hand mobile phone and accessories industry.

These awards honour the innovators, leaders, and changemakers driving progress in sustainability, quality, accessibility, and circular innovation across the refurbished and reused tech space.

As the refurbished device and repair market heads toward a projected value of $150 billion by 2027 (GSMA), it’s more important than ever to shine a spotlight on the companies and individuals shaping this circular future.

🏆 Why We're Here

The CTA Awards aim to recognise and elevate those who are transforming the used and refurbished mobile sector — from diagnostics software developers and device resellers to repair specialists and trade-in programs. With 16+ award categories, this is the night we give credit where it’s due and celebrate the people and businesses making a real difference.

✨ The Venue

This year’s event will be held at the iconic JW Marriott Hotel Berlin — a luxury destination that blends sophistication, style, and comfort in the heart of the ever-evolving German capital. Nestled near the serene Tiergarten, the hotel offers a peaceful oasis and state-of-the-art event space that reflects the innovation and elegance we aim to honour at CTA.

Expect world-class service, elegant design, and an atmosphere perfect for a night of recognition, reflection, and forward-looking inspiration.

🎉 What to Expect

16+ industry award nominations spotlighting true excellence

A 3-course gourmet dinner in a luxury setting

A memorable evening of networking with key players in Europe’s mobile tech ecosystem

Thought leaders, innovators, and rising stars — all in one room
