🚀 [From Lab to Market] DeepTech100+ Cohort 7 Lean Launcher Bootcamp Kicks Off!

How do advanced lab breakthroughs turn into real-world impact? The answer is simple: “Get out of the building!” 💡

🔥 In Aug, close to 30 innovative teams from DeepTech100+ Cohort 7 gathered for an intensive Lean Launcher Bootcamp, laying a strong foundation for their market validation journeys. The day was divided into two dynamic sessions. In the morning, participants engaged in hands-on training centered around the Lean Launcher framework, enabling them to shift their mindsets from a technology-first approach to a market-first perspective. This session also provided ample opportunities for idea exchange and networking among fellow innovators. In the afternoon, industry mentors took the stage to share their invaluable domain expertise, guiding the teams through strategic roadmaps and effective commercialization strategies. The bootcamp successfully energized the teams and equipped them with practical insights to accelerate their startup development.

🎯 The Next 2 Months, teams will undergo 5 rigorous report-back sessions. Guided by their dedicated mentors, they will hit the ground running with direct customer interviews, deep-dive market validation, and real-world testing—mastering essential business analytics tools along the way 📈✨

A huge THANK YOU to all track leaders and mentors for their unwavering support and guidance! 🙏❤️
