There is time until mid-December to participate in the Deep Tech Venture Builder Programme Call 2025, the first edition of the call promoted by EIT Health to transform academic research projects in deep-tech into businesses. The call aims to support up to 20 projects in the first phase and up to 10 in the second, offering a support ecosystem that includes mentoring, a health innovation network, and structured funding.
The program, lasting 10 months, is divided into two main phases. The first phase focuses on team creation, entrepreneurial idea development, and prototyping, aiming to provide participants with the skills necessary to start new entrepreneurial initiatives in the health technology sector. The second phase aims to develop a minimum viable product and validate the market. Training courses, both online and in-person, cover six fundamental modules, including entrepreneurial mindset and technology transfer strategies. Academic teams or researchers collaborating with a venture builder can apply.
