Hard tech session, Muslim Tech Fest

Sat 6 June 2026

Great hardware companies get linked with San Francisco and Shenzhen. This session put London's hardware founders, and their machines, on the table.

6 corners in the room, 2,000 people in the building. Ours had the hardware, and ended up one of the busiest.

On the table: Elo's wheeled humanoid, ClearZone's zones where your phone stops working, Bench's AI framework for designing high performance hardware, and Invictus Robotics' drone with an articulated robotic arm.

The corner came together in under 2.5 weeks.
