On 21 August, from 15.00 to 17.00, Startup House will host the Community Forum in Riga, bringing together startups, researchers and innovation ecosystem players.
As part of the event, we invite researchers to apply to participate in a special deeptech section - "Pitch Science" - where scientists will have the opportunity to present their solutions and receive practical feedback from experienced start-up founders.
Format:
- 5-minute idea presentation
- 10-15 minute comments from startup representatives:
- potential industrial applications
- business model options
- improving presentation and communication
Scientists are also invited to highlight a specific challenge they face - for example, the need for pilot partners, industry collaboration or scaling issues. The event is free of charge for scientists (limited number of places, participation on a first-come, first-served basis).
The aim of the event is to foster collaboration between academia and business, to promote the emergence of deep-tech entrepreneurs and the commercialisation of scientific innovations.
