S3E Pitch_EPF3Bio

EPF3Bio: meet the team behind TriPhyte, a technology to cultivate a greener, healthier world

EPF3Bio, led by researchers from National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece), is one of the supported research teams in the first S3E Start Programme

Agriculture and food security programs face several challenges, largely stemming from yield loss as a result of pests, diseases and soil degradation. The mitigation of these phenomena relies on chemical applications with high environmental and climate costs, while their intensive application over several decades has contributed to abundant pesticide resistance that furthers damages. As such, recent EU directives require reductions in chemical control, and place greater emphasis on environmentally friendly biotechnology solutions. 

The technology developed by EPF3Bio addresses all of the above, offering a sustainable alternative to dealing with Europe’s pesticide problem and the biodiversity crisis. TriPhyte is a biological fungal-based all-in-one product that functions on three essential dimensions: biofertilizer, biocontrol agent and biostimulant. Extensive research has shown its ability to increase crop yield by 20% while protecting plants from pests and diseases. Apart from the simplicity of its application, TriPhyte combines three products into one, which makes it remarkably cost-effective compared to other organic agriculture products. 

Their technology is suitable for both farmers and small-scale growers who want to switch to sustainable farming and/or enter into the organic market, guaranteeing the health of consumers and farmland.

Learn more about EPF3Bio by watching the pitch done by researcher Marios Andrikopoulos during the Start Open Day on 20th July 2023

Five projects, one mission: Expanding Acceleration Ecosystems in the European Union

Five projects, one mission: Expanding Acceleration Ecosystems

Incubators, accelerators and different types of ‘company-builders’ play a crucial role in providing start-ups with growth support. Due to the diverse innovation landscape in Europe, start-ups from better-connected innovation ecosystems benefit from more local accelerators with greater funding opportunities and more qualified business support services compared to their counterparts elsewhere.

This geographical gap often requires start-ups from less connected ecosystems to move to more established hubs elsewhere in Europe. Consequently, there are fewer scale-ups in less connected innovation ecosystems, creating unbalanced business activity and employment opportunities. The European Commission, launched the ‘Expanding Acceleration Ecosystems’ mission, as part of the European Innovation Ecosystems (EIE) work programme, with the purpose to reverse this flow by making ‘modest’ and ‘moderate’ innovation ecosystems more attractive to international companies interested in setting up their businesses outside the established centres and tapping into the potential of local ecosystems.

In light of this, around one year ago, five projects kicked off to support the European Commission fulfil this mission: sharing business acceleration related best practices, knowledge, tools and methods; exchanging promising start-ups and SMEs; exchanging accelerator programme experts; establishing links between local actors in developing ecosystems, among others, and one of these projects is S3E – The Engine for South European Deep Tech.

S3E has developed an engine of growth to contribute to improving the connectedness and efficiency of the southern European countries’ innovation ecosystems. Our focuses on the acceleration of deep tech research projects, growth startups and scaleups, contributing to closing the innovation gap between these countries and more advanced innovation ecosystems. S3E is supporting south European innovators to develop into deep tech and procure funding for the early stages of development through three innovation programmes: START, CHARGE and REVERSE.

However, S3E is not alone in this mission and four other projects were selected with complementary action plans to expand acceleration ecosystems. Let’s discover them in this blog’s post!


AccelerAction: A pan-European Networked Acceleration Programme to expand acceleration ecosystems and foster the scalability potential of European business

The diverse innovation landscape in Europe and the geographical gap among the "innovation leaders" and the less-connected ecosystems highlights that the latter suffer from weaker entrepreneurial activity and scarcer investments. The EU-funded AccelerAction project aims to improve the quality and outreach of business acceleration services in weaker innovation ecosystems in the field of DeepTech by creation of new pan-European Networked Acceleration Programme (EU-NAP) that will be tested in 3-months blended exchange programme for 10 promising start-ups with special focus on gender dimension. To its end the project will encourage entrepreneurial activities, stimulating cooperation among innovation actors generating alliances and strengthening less connected ecosystems to increase their competitiveness & connectivity also thanks to the creation of the virtual platform with match-making feature.

ACCELERO: Accelerating Local Innovation Ecosystems in Europe

ACCELERO has the ambition of creating a pan-European community of business support organisations (BSOs) as the onestop shop for all BSOs and its “customers”, the startups and SMEs, as well as for peer-to-peer exchange, networking and connectedness for all stakeholders engaged in the broader innovation ecosystem. This will be achieved with an initial ACCELERO extended community apart from consortium members to co-create and pilot-test high-quality business acceleration services with European BSOs from emerging and moderate innovators together with experts from strong and leader innovation regions or Member States, followed by the launch of the community inside Euroquity platform.

Food-scalEUp: Expanding the European digital agri-food acceleration ecosystem

Expanding the European agri-food digital innovation ecosystem’s capacity is a priority for 10 organisations that form Food-scalEUp, an EU-funded project that is focusing on emerging and moderate innovator regions. Its objective is to help these innovator regions become better connected, effective, impactful, resilient and recognised around the globe. To succeed, it will develop optimal business acceleration services in agri-food digital innovation ecosystems; foster connections and transfer knowledge regionally and beyond; and balance the capacity of agri-food digital innovation and acceleration ecosystems in the regions in question.

BEYOND: Boosting pan-european Exchange between acceleration ecosYstems for improving quality and Outreach of business acceleration services in Developing innovation ecosystems

Introducing the new Virtual Accelerator Marketplace (VAM), designed to support joint business accelerator activities for Europe’s startups. It also aims to advance investment flows from net contributor regions towards ‘modest’ and ‘moderate’ ones. Developed by the EU-funded BEYOND project, VAM will test a self-sovereign digital identity scheme (funding passport) available to startups independent of which accelerator they join. Moreover, a joint platform will allow online acceleration and provide a framework for the efficient development of startups. BEYOND will also focus on sharing specific offers from the different project participants and resources; it will develop an incentive structure where all partners benefit from high-quality startups developing their services, and create a cross-region marketplace for fundraising.

S3E START acceleration program kicks-off to support deep tech researchers

S3E team kicked off the START Acceleration program with an onboarding session with the 16 research teams and tech transfer offices selected through the Open Call #1.

The research teams presented their deep tech innovations and the tech transfer offices their research work. They all had the chance to meet each other creating a perfect atmosphere for collaboration and networking opportunities. During the kick off meeting, held virtually, we celebrated the first webinar of the training series called “War Stories'' with Joana Simões Correia and Thiago Gomes, former participants of the HiEngine program that inspired S3E START.

Joana Simões Correia is a co-founder and the Executive Director of Exogenus Therapeutics. With a PhD in Human Biology, she dedicated more than 15 years of her career to research in the area of human diseases, including cancer genetics and regenerative medicine. Author of several high impact papers and patents, she has been a pioneer in exploring the therapeutic potential of umbilical cord blood derived exosomes as a therapeutic tool. Since 2015 she has been leading Exogenus Therapeutics research and development team and activities and has been recognized several times for the excellence of her work, nationally and internationally (eg. ANJE Young Entrepreneur Award 2015, Everis Foundation Award 2016, Prémio Empreendedor XXI 2019). Under her leadership, Exogenus Therapeutics has conquered a distinguished position in the field and is recognized has a leading company harnessing the potential of exosomes as a therapeutic tool for diseases of high unmet need.

 

Thiago Gomes is the Co-Founder & CEO of a StartUp called BioReboot. BioReboot is a Startup that focuses on reusing and transforming agricultural waste into a biomaterial that has the potential to replace single-use plastics in the agriculture sector.

It represented the Autonomous Region of Madeira in the first phase of Climatelaunchpad 2021, the Global Green Business Ideas Competition. Currently, it represents the University of Madeira in the Born from Knowledge 2021 Competition.

Joana and Thiago gave participants an inspirational speech about their drive to be entrepreneurs, their successful experiences, sharing advices and learning, and the reasons behind their participation in the program that inspired S3E START.

During the following 18 weeks, S3E team and the designed Mentors will be supporting the selected participants defining their pathways from the lab to the market.


About S3E START acceleration program

The S3E Start includes online classes (mainly on the topics related to the development of a business case for deep tech projects) and webinars (on diverse topics pertinent to the development of the relevant skills). These in-class tutorials will account for less than half of the total workload of the Program, the remaining time being allocated to group meetings facilitated by the mentors. There are deliverables to be fulfilled each week and these deliverables will guide the participants throughout the three phases of the Program, namely:

IDEATION PHASE: In this phase a set of clearly defined product concepts will be developed and prioritized considering the linkages between the unique capabilities of the technologies and customer/market needs (Technology-Product-Market linkages). Each team is required to generate multiple product concepts that can be enabled by each technology. Then research teams will have to identify diverse market opportunities for each product concept to further specify product attributes.

DEVELOPMENT PHASE: In this phase teams will refine, improve, validate and select among the product concepts devised in the ‘ideation’ phase using a guided approach that will force them to contact the ‘market’ to challenge and sustain each of the T-P-M linkages proposed in the ideation phase. In the early stages of this phase, teams will be looking for ‘fatal flaws’ (product or market) that will justify ‘dumping’ one (or more) T-P-M linkage(s). With the information gathered from the market teams will develop “value propositions” for their products using a standard format that will force them to (i) clearly define the product, (ii) tie customer needs to the benefits of using the product in economic terms and (iii) differentiate the product from competitors based on unique product features. Additionally, they will build a business model that, for the product moving forward, describes the rationale of how the company will create, deliver, and capture value. Throughout this phase participants will have to use a set of management tools (e.g., 5 Forces Analysis, SWOT Analysis, Industry Mapping, “Voice of the Customer”, etc.) to gain a much better understanding of the way the market works and will be supported by the tools embedded in the approach, thus fine-tuning their product concept choices.

COMMERCIALIZATION PHASE: In this phase teams put the pieces of the puzzle together by building a strategy to bring the product to market. This phase begins with the definitions of the pricing point and the sales plan answering strategic questions such as market traction and market entry point(s). Additionally, drawing on the business model previously designed teams will define their development roadmap that will allow them to build the financial projections and risk analysis.  At this stage teams will have all the elements needed to produce a business case and a final pitch that will be the final deliverables for the Program.
