DT Launch Pad’s Post

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

Innovation needs you! Scientists, engineers, managers, entrepreneurs, venture builders and public officers. No matter how efficient the innovation mechanisms and procedures, how promising the technology and how dashing the science, innovation’s ultimate substrate is imagination, followed by motivation. Good news, motivation can be fueled by incentives. Is your research institution rewarding innovation? How’s your lawyer/business developer ratio? How’s your profit-sharing strategy? Is you IP asset valuation realistic? Is your tech transfer office trained in and eager to do business? We’ll visit all these questions in coming posts, based on data obtained through 10 years of innovation at Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2), through the creation of 12 tech startups, hundreds of R&D Contracts signed and more than 100M€ in direct investment. Let’s talk! #value #valuecreation #innovation #deeptech #scienceequity #medtech #startups #nanotechnology #barcelona #spain #europe

To create a strong deep tech ecosystem, it's essential to build an entrepreneurial mindset and culture right from the start. This requires taking several key steps: Support grassroots initiatives: Back initiatives that provide hands-on experiences essential for building entrepreneurial skills. Encourage broad participation: Open opportunities to students, researchers, and even non-technical individuals, ensuring everyone can contribute to deep tech commercialisation. Focus on quality: It’s not just about numbers; programmes must focus on quality to develop individuals equipped with the mindset and skills needed to succeed in entrepreneurship.
