Celebrating the Impact of the Academic Startup Competition Programme!
We’re delighted to highlight the success stories of our remarkable participants in the Academic Startup Competition Programme. Transforming research into real-world impact is no small feat, and these inspiring founders have embraced the challenge wholeheartedly. Here’s a glimpse into their experiences and insights along the way: 🎢
“Taking part in ASC has guided our team out of the academic comfort zone into the exciting, sociable world of deep-tech startups, where research and innovation tackle the world’s challenges. ASC has connected us with other deeptech startups facing similar challenges, allowing us to learn from their experiences and navigate the practical steps necessary for success.”
– Jasmin Fisher Balil, COO & Researcher at SolarFoil
“The US trip as part of the academic startup competition program was incredibly enriching. I was exposed to the dynamic US business environment and the empowering “think big” mentality. This experience significantly enhanced my storytelling skills and pushed me out of my comfort zone.”
– Stas Verichev, CEO at Vibrotwist B.V.
“The ASC program gave us the opportunity to connect with other academic founders especially those who are also building hardware companies. The
exchange has been invaluable. Deep-dives into business planning, recruitment together and pitching with experts in group and one-on-one sessions gave us clarity and much needed direction in this early stage of the company.”
– Alina Chanaewa, CEO & Co-founder at Eddytec
👏 Let’s cheer on our founders and look ahead to the next edition! Nominees can secure their spot until November 15th.
