Are you ready to turn your research into real-world impact?
Become part of a Europe-wide community of innovators, mentors, investors, and service providers.
Work across borders, exchange ideas, and grow your venture with the right network behind you.
Applications are now open for the Deep Tech Launch Pad programme designed to help researchers and early-stage deep tech innovators navigate the path from breakthrough to business.
Our online programme, running from September 2025 to June 2026, is designed for ambitious PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and deep tech teams eager to advance their innovations.
Whether you’re exploring the commercial possibilities of your research, ready to develop a venture idea, or building an early-stage start-up, we offer expert support, practical tools, and a vibrant network to help you succeed.
Over eight weeks, you’ll sharpen your entrepreneurial skills, connect with a Europe-wide network of mentors and peers, and take the first steps towards building a venture – all with no fees and no equity taken.
If you’re passionate about making a difference through science and technology, we’re here to help you launch.
At Deep Tech Launch Pad, we offer two tailored tracks depending on where you are:
- DeepSpark – for researchers exploring the commercial potential of their work (Technology Readiness Levels 1–3).
- DeepTech Catalyst – for those ready to take their innovations to the next stage and shape real-world solutions (TRL 4–6).
Applications are open until 31st July, 2025
