For the European deep-tech start-up scene to grow sustainably and achieve its potential impact, access to real market problems and testbeds is required. Driven by real market needs, the STARTUP3 project builds and facilitates an open and collaborative ecosystem for high impact deep-tech innovators and corporates and acts as a cross-border/sectoral market-maker.
European deep-tech Startups will be given an opportunity to bring their idea into an industry.
This stage is dedicated to building solid partnerships and detecting real investment opportunities for the top projects in the STARTUP3 Business and Growth programme. The startups will have access to targeted investors, clients, corporate partners and international accelerator representatives.
During this phase, teams will be prepared to enter the last stage – Product2Market by submitting a valid and strong Executive Summary and through soft skills necessary for a successful business meeting. After this phase, the projects holding a major market potential will be invited to enter the last stage of the process.
This stage began after the peer-to-peer evaluation process and 25 top-notch projects entered this phase. Along with this phase, STARTUP3 supports innovators to challenge their concepts and ideas, identify market problems, estimate the MVP and overall product effort, as well as also to identify their competitors from the deep-tech sphere.
