What they say about us
I totally recommend the S3E program to anyone who wants to turn their ideas into successful businesses. The program's effectiveness and the support we received were incredible, and it has given us the confidence to pursue our entrepreneurial dreams.Alexandra Kortsinoglou TriPHYTE - Start Researcher
As a founder, there are so many things that I need to do all at once, oftentimes I miss the opportunity to really think about important questions of impact. S3E Charge really made me think deeply about my company, the impact we have and the legacy we are trying to create.Luca Venza CEO, Distinkt - Charge Startup
The S3E Start program gave us valuable opportunities. We revisited everything about our product and contacted stakeholders. All the S3E Start members always had a very supportive and informative attitude. I completely recommend this program.Omur Sayligil NANO INK - Start Researcher
S3E has been a wonderful experience with valuable information and workshops. S3E also provided unique insight into the importance of ESG for ventures with a social component. We were especially fortunate to have an extremely helpful mentor who transformed our pitch deck into a much more engaging and enticing proposition. Aleck Alexopoulos Co-Founder, CTO RESPIBIT - Charge Startup
S3E raised our hospital TTO’s consistency in shaping deep tech business ideas. All you have to do is give biomolecules, procedures, instrumentation, or apps a chance. Helped us de-risk through better skills and tools, external validation, reliability and timing with industry and pitch mastering. Mentors are forthright. Passed to my best peer TTOs along!Ermes Mestroni I.R.C.C.S. - Start Tech Transfer Office

What is Deep Tech?
At S3E, we define Deep Tech as the umbrella term for all those technologies grounded on either scientific discovery or meaningful engineering innovation. Deep Tech nurtures the development of disruptive solutions built around unique, protected or hard-to-reproduce technological or scientific advances and drives the creation of products, processes or services that fulfill unmet (or ill-met) market needs.
The opportunity for Deep Tech in Europe
Deep Tech combines the high risk in getting an idea to actually work with proving market demand through a product. There is no doubt that Europe’s scientific prowess is world-class. Many of the EU’s top Deep Tech companies have their roots in academia and drew early support from grants… and yet, all Southern European countries are currently ranked as moderate and emerging Innovators.
For the scope of this project Southern European Countries include the following EU countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovenia and Spain and the following Associated countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey.
This divide is rooted both in the origin and the funding of the startups, and S3E is here to shake things up!
