HiSeedTech in a consortium with Australo, International Development Ireland (IDI), and Institute for Sustainable Development of the European Public Law Organization (EPLO) has been selected by the European Commission to develop an engine of growth to improve the connectedness and efficiency of the entrepreneurship ecosystems in southern European countries.

The project – S3E - will focus on the acceleration of deep tech projects and start-ups that, by providing solutions towards a more sustainable society and economy, can impact social development and economic growth in these countries and contribute to the timely achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

S3E will have three tracks:

• Track 1: “Plug-in and Start” that aims at (i) uncovering and engaging research projects and teams that have the potenjavascript:;tial to develop into an early-stage deep tech start-up and (ii) providing technology commercialization skills through training, mentoring, and networking. This track will use the methodology of the HiTech program.

• Track 2: “Connect and Charge” that aims at (i) engaging growth start-ups, (ii) providing them mentoring and networking to develop an investment-ready business plan, and (iii) facilitating access to non-dilutable and dilutable funding.

• Track 3: “Drive and Reverse” that aims at (i) engaging scaling start-ups and SMEs, (ii) creating a corporate to start-up brokerage program

The goal of the consortium is to support the materialization of science-based innovation into ground-breaking, resilient solutions with a high potential for adding value and bridging the gap between science and the market.
