S3E’s ultimate goal is to develop an engine of growth that will improve the connectedness and efficiency of the entrepreneurship ecosystems in Southern European countries. The focus is on the acceleration of start-ups and SMEs working on Deep Tech solutions that can provide long-term sustainability through social development and economic growth in these countries.
The program is built around 3 tracks of bespoke services tailored to start-ups’ varying levels of maturity (i.e. early, growth, and scaling stages).
Track 1 – Start
Track 2 – Charge
Track 3 - Reverse
For research teams and tech transfer offices, S3E offers a hands-on training programme to hone their commercial skills and secure early funding for development
For growth start-ups, S3E provides mentoring and networking to develop an investment-ready business plan and facilitate access to non-dilutable and dilutable funding
For scaling start-ups and SMEs, S3E will set up an Open Innovation ecosystem to broker, connect and match corporates to scaling start-ups through a challenge-solution duality.
Participants in the program will be selected through Open Calls: S3E will support 150+ Deep Tech ventures throughout its complete run, so join us for the launch of the very first Open Call on November 8th!
