MXT26
MXT is not a typical tech conference.
It’s a two-day experience built for people who build: founders, researchers, technologists, creatives, and investors who believe progress doesn’t come from playing it safe.
Held in Groningen on January 14–15, 2026, MXT26 brings together sharp minds from across deep tech, life sciences, AI, and the creative industries. But this isn’t about sitting back. It’s about stepping in, testing ideas, owning the mess, and moving things forward.
What sets MXT apart is the format: no polite panels, no glossy keynotes with predictable outcomes. Instead, expect raw founder talks, hands-on labs, live demos (that might crash), and sessions that dig into the questions most conferences avoid. The goal is momentum, clarity, and connection across disciplines.
Attendees might hear something that shifts their next move, meet collaborators they didn’t see coming, or walk away with an idea that finally lands. It’s about showing up ready to learn, collide, and create.
MXT originated from the creative energy of the music world. That rhythm still runs through the program. At night, the space transforms, with live acts and cultural programming featured as part of the official partnership with Eurosonic Noorderslag (ESNS) — Europe’s most influential music showcase.
MXT is built for momentum. Built for honesty. Built for those who build.
Practical information
January 14-15, 2026 in Groningen at the Oude Stipmuseum
