Our pledge
Our motivation to join the Deep Tech Pledge and Talent Initiative reflects our commitment to preparing the next generation of innovators for the challenging journey from lab research to commercialization. Launched in 2025, our novel master’s module, Deep Tech Venturing (DTV), addresses the distinct challenges of deep-tech entrepreneurship—setting it apart from digital ventures. It guides students through key stages, including market discovery, prototype development, industrialization, and scaling, providing a structured pathway for transforming scientific breakthroughs into impactful businesses. Through this pledge, we seek to strengthen the Deep Tech ecosystem by sharing insights from our curriculum and cultivating a talent pipeline equipped to drive deep-tech innovation at the intersection of science and industry.
