🟣 What an inspiring day at the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) Tech2Market pitching event! I had the privilege of serving on the jury committee alongside esteemed professionals with backgrounds in strategy, investment, deep tech development, and the EIC Accelerator program itself. 💥 The four deep tech startups that pitched were truly remarkable. Their technologies, born from rigorous academic research and years of dedication, showcased immense potential across five distinct business applications. For some of these teams, this was their first foray into the world of investor pitches, a notoriously challenging task for scientists accustomed to the intricacies of research. 🔵 Our jury discussions centered on guiding these brilliant minds in crafting compelling pitches: how to establish an ecosystem, credibility, maintain focus, and effectively communicate the immense business potential of their innovations. What resonates with investors in the deep tech space? It was a fascinating exchange of ideas, fueled by the diverse expertise within the jury room. ✅ A huge congratulations to each team who participated! By taking the brave step to pitch, you've already achieved a significant victory. My deepest gratitude goes out to my fellow jury members, Orily Pratt, Dóra Marosvölgyi, Diane Nevin, Theologos Prokopiou, and Kaloyan Ratchev, for their insightful contributions. And of course, a heartfelt thank you to Ira Ira Alevra, Eva Baltar, and the entire team behind this exceptional event! #deeptech #innovation #entrepreneurship #innovationmanagement #statup #startupdevelopment
