About the event
From Research Towards Commercialisation is a one-hour webinar for researchers, Research to Business (R2B) teams and research-driven deep tech teams interested in taking their ideas towards commercialisation.
The webinar brings together founders who have made the journey from university research to establishing a deep tech company. Joonas Govenius, Co-founder and CEO of Arctic Instruments, and Andreas Liapis, Founder and CTO of Agate Sensors, will share their experiences from the commercialisation journey – the challenges they encountered, lessons learned along the way, and practical insights for researchers considering a similar path.
Participation is free of charge, but registration is required.
Register and join us to hear first-hand experiences from researchers who have taken their technology from research towards commercialisation.
