Futury Lab2Market Pitch Event
- The Futury Lab2Market program – supported by d-fine brings research into dialogue with society, the market, and industry.
In October, eight research teams took part in a 3-day Bootcamp, supported by Futury, d-fine and external experts, to explore and iterate on the market potential of their research-based innovation. At the upcoming Innovation Day (InnoDay25), the teams will present the results of the program:
During the Pitch Event, they will showcase their innovations to a mixed audience of mentors, investors, and industry partners — encouraging open exchange and valuable feedback on their pathways to impact.
Get to know the participants, listen to their pitches, and challenge their ideas in an open Q&A!
The innovations span key future fields such as Life Science & Healthcare, AI & Machine Learning, and GreenTech.
