Meet 14 Groundbreaking Deep Tech Projects at the S3E Start Open Day on June 18th at 14:30 Portuguese Time.
Next June 18th, the S3E Start will showcase the deep tech projects that participated in this edition's cohort. These projects were developed by nearly 60 researchers from institutions in Greece, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Türkiye. Over 20 weeks, they were supported by the HiSeedTech team and industry experts who guided them in developing a business case from the technology they brought to the program. The culmination of S3E Start will be at the Open Day, where the research teams will pitch their deep tech projects.
Registrations to watch the Event are available here and you can check the S3E Start Booklet to get to know more details about the these projects! Download your copy here.
