Before our Incubate Program...
If you, as a researcher, have not yet started a company, we can support you with know-how and early advice on how to take the next steps. Our digital Startup Academy has specific Deeptech focus modules made for researchers taking their first steps into business building. Our Open Coaching is where you can book a digital meeting with one of our expert coaches, and we also run a thematic pre-incubator workshop program, Sting Test Drive, several times a year.
All of these are cost-free.
Take advantage of our free 20-30 minute online coaching sessions to speak with a coach and evaluate if your research idea is ready for the next steps.
