Applications are now open for an international accelerator built for early-stage deep-tech teams ready to turn breakthrough technology into scalable companies.
Techsight is designed for one critical transition: moving from research and technical validation to real market traction. If you have a strong technical foundation but need clarity on customers, business model, and go-to-market, this program is built for you.
The program runs in two focused phases. In Phase 1, teams work on validating problem–solution fit and defining a clear product direction.In Phase 2, the focus shifts to execution, go-to-market strategy, early traction, and fundraising readiness.
This is a hands-on program. Expect to work closely with experienced mentors, challenge your assumptions, and make fast, concrete progress.
Beyond the core program, startups gain access to a strong European network of partners, researchers, and operators. This includes:
- direct access to AI and deep-tech experts
- opportunities to join international conferences and innovation events
- connections to investors and startup ecosystems
- access to university innovation networks and technoparks
Techsight is open to teams from the EU and Horizon Europe countries with a working proof of concept, prototype, or research-based solution (TRL 3-6).
We are particularly interested in teams building in:
AI, robotics, biotech, advanced materials, energy, climate tech, and other high-impact deep-tech fields.
Selected teams will also pitch to investors at the final Demo Day.
