Despite Europe's leadership in research, many groundbreaking technologies don't reach the market. DT Launch Pad, led by Delft University of Technology, has a goal to change that. This project supports the European Deep Tech community with comprehensive services, talent development, international knowledge exchange, and fostering start-ups. Currently, in Work Package 2, we're mapping research and assets to understand the needs of Deep Tech in Europe. This work lays the foundation for future activities, helping HEIs develop specialised training programs and bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical skills. 🔗Discover more in our newest blog post written by @Julia Bauer, @Inkubator accent: https://lnkd.in/eJPnQeg3 Munster Technological University , Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, Crazy Town Oy, Ege University, accent Inkubator GmbH,  Momentum Educate + Innovate, Delft University of Technology University Industry Innovation Network (UIIN) , University of Ljubljana #DeepTech #Startup #Innovation #FutureTech #EuropeanDeepTechCommunity #Entrepreneur

Last Tuesday, I had the pleasure of speaking on the investor panel at the PIC Summit Europe, where we discussed the challenges and opportunities of investing in photonics. Together with Laurens Weers (PhotonDelta), Sander Verbrugge (Innovation Industries), Bert G. (imec.xpand) and Flo Pattiwael (PhotonVentures), we explored how photonics companies can successfully scale their technologies and attract funding. Innovation Origins has published a great article summarizing some of the insights that we shared during the panel discussion. https://lnkd.in/dkPR7iWb
