We would like to share Rise Europe's new launch: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 & 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸: From breakthrough research to European tech champions 🧑🔬🔬🏆 Europe excels in research but struggles to bring ideas to market, only one-third of European patents are commercially exploited. This represents a massive opportunity for deep tech innovation driven by science-based entrepreneurship. Sciencepreneurship sits at the intersection of research and entrepreneurship, turning discoveries into solutions for global challenges. As Europe works to strengthen its innovation capacity, making this translation from lab to market must become a systemic priority. At Rise Europe, the european network Beta-i is proud to be a part of, we identified sciencepreneurship as a cornerstone of Europe’s economic future. Together with TUM Venture Labs, IE School of Science and Technology, and KTH Innovation, Rise Europe has gathered best practices and insights on how to empower researchers, manage IP, and build scalable ventures. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: three unique approaches to turning research into the next generation of European tech champions. 🚀🇪🇺 From these, Rise Europe has gathered 7 guiding principles for startup hubs and innovation ecosystems to implement right away, to empower researchers, accelerate deep tech ventures, and transform science into market-ready innovation. 📘 Download the playbook here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dKFBt_5J This is 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀, sharing proven models from across our network so every hub can learn from them.
