Research teams participating in S3E START test their business skills during the Value Proposition Pitch
On May 30, from 15:00 CET to 18:30 CET, the research teams participating in the S3E START programme had to present their deep tech projects value proposition in front of a panel composed of the HiSeedTech team - Cláudia Barbosa, Cristina Simões, Nuno Falcão e Cunha and Pedro Vilarinho. The event took place online with an audience of 50 people and was open to participating teams and the technology transfer officers, mentors, and S3E partners (AUSTRALO, EPLO, and IDI).
The session was held midway through the programme implementation and was intended to: (i) serve as a proxy for the Open Day that will take place on July 20; (ii) provide feedback to the teams and test the robustness of the work done to date; (iii) improve their business skills and familiarise them with the types of questions that might arise during real presentations to investors or other stakeholders.
Each research team had 5 minutes to present their value proposition, which included: defining the problem they are solving and the need behind it, defining the technology, the solution they have and identifying the market, the competition and the team behind it.
The pitches were made in the following order:
- BioMEMs: Júlio Rocha, Aveiro University (PT), , Portugal
- BUCKS: Kun V Tian, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
- Cancer Therapeutics: Kanwal Asif, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy
- CAVI: Jurij Gostisa, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
- CE4Land: Ivana Pajčin, Faculty of Technology Novi Sad, University of Novi Sad, Serbia
- DVS: Rossela Zaffino, ICREA/ICMAB-CSIC, Spain
- EditUp: Davide Ederle, Fondazione Hub Innovazione Trentino (HIT), Italy
- HTS-INKS: Mar Tristany, Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), Spain
- MARCIA: Clotilde Costa, Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela, Spain
- MET LAB: Diogo Silva, ITQB NOVA - Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica António Xavier, Portugal
- Nano-ink: Elif Begum Elcioglu, Eskisehir Technical University, Turkey
- Sumatrix Biotech: Semra Unal Yildirim, Sumatrix Biotech, Turkey
- Breast 4.0: Tiago Marques, Champalimaud Clinical, Portugal
The teams are doing great progress and they still have the following seven weeks to focus on improving their value proposition and presentation to have the business model ready for the S3E START Open Day!
Looking forward to exploring synergies and creating a long-lasting collaboration.

S3E at WARM, the Worldwide Accelerators Rally at Matosinhos
WARM, the Worldwide Accelerators Rally at Matosinhos is an event that brings together innovation acceleration programs, incubators and TTOs with investors, companies, and startups.
This year edition was organized by RESOLVE-Health. RESOLVE-Health is a technology-based acceleration program designed to provide support and management tools to early-stage projects and start-ups in the health sector, focused on transforming innovative research into profitable ventures. The aim is to foster knowledge transfer, ultimately leading to licensing patents or launching start-ups. This is done by teams of researchers and entrepreneurs involved in this area. RESOLVE-Health is an initiative from I3S - Institute for Innovation and Research in Health in Porto.
WARM goal was to foster a collaborative movement in the health innovation ecosystem and took place on May 25, at Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leixões, in Matosinhos.
Our team member HiSeedTech had the opportunity to participate and present the S3E program with the focus on S3E Start and share some testimonials of researchers that have already been impacted by our methodology during the panel "Testimonials from Teams Supported by Acceleration Programs!". Claudia Barbosa, S3E Project Coordinator received valuable feedback from the audience and especially from researchers who have seen a change in their lives and the way they look at science, which was truly inspiring. Claudia invited the more than 100 participants to join the S3E community and to be alert for the upcoming Open Call after summer, which will bring new opportunities for researchers and startups from Southern Europe to bring their deep tech ideas into the market.
