The De-TECH Deep Venture Builder is an annual training and mentoring programme designed to drive the commercialisation of advanced technologies developed within the university environment. A new edition of the programme is launched each year, in which researchers, postgraduate students and recent graduates can submit projects based on deep tech innovations developed at or linked to participating universities.

The programme offers personalised support over 10 weeks, combining entrepreneurial training, specialist mentoring and support in key areas such as market validation, business model, commercialisation strategy and preparation for presenting the project to potential investors or strategic partners.

Its aim is to help transform research results and high-potential technologies into start-ups, spin-offs or market-ready solutions, strengthening the link between universities, entrepreneurship and technological innovation.
