From Lab to Market: Showcasing Three Deep Tech Startups

The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) introduces in this session three scientific entrepreneurs from multidisciplinary backgrounds who lead Deep Tech spin-offs from three BIST centres.

Deep Tech startups create disruptive solutions founded on unique, protected and hard-to-reproduce scientific discoveries or engineering innovations. While scientific entrepreneurs have the same challenges as all other entrepreneurs, there are some unique differences that they need to face and overcome.

Join us to learn more from our speakers who represent industries as diverse as quantum computing, photoreactors for photocatalytic chemical reactions and computing technologies for drug discovery.
