The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) launched the DeepTech Talents Initiative with an ambitious goal: to train one million people in DeepTech. Programs selected for the initiative must demonstrate exceptional educational standards, innovative methodologies, and measurable impact on the DeepTech ecosyste.
Being listed among these programs means we have met stringent criteria around:
- Curriculum quality
- Expert involvement
- Learning outcomes
- Preparation for the complex challenges of scaling deep technology ventures
Traditional accelerator programs often follow a one-size-fits-all model: gather founders in one location, pack them into intensive full-day sessions, and hope they can implement what they learn while running their companies. For DeepTech founders, who manage complex technologies, long development cycles, and resource-intensive R&D, this model simply doesn’t work.
That’s why we built the Scaling Readiness Run differently.
Our three-month program is specifically designed for mid-stage DeepTech founders who have achieved product market fit and are ready to scale. It covers twelve essential scaling dimensions through six focused sprints, each addressing critical areas like:
- Strategy operationalization
- Product-market fit refinement
- Sales acceleration
- Funding readiness
- People and culture
- Operations execution
The traditional accelerator model has limitations that become particularly evident for DeepTech ventures:
- Founders can’t afford to be away from product development for weeks
- Geographic restrictions limit participation
- One-size-fits-all pacing doesn’t match the complexity of each venture
Blended learning for accelerators solves these challenges elegantly:
- Flexible learning: Founders access content anytim - early mornings, late nights, or between lab sessions.
- Cohort connection: Live sessions, peer discussions, and collaborative exercises maintain the accelerator community experience.
- Expert support: Office hours, coaching sessions, and targeted feedback ensure founders apply knowledge immediately.
- Immediate implementation: Founders build OKRs, refine sales processes, and execute strategies during the sprint, receiving real-time expert guidance.
By adopting blended learning for accelerators, programs can:
- Deliver scalable, high-quality education without geographic or scheduling limitations
- Lower operational costs compared to fully in-person models
- Track startup progress with actionable feedback loops
- Foster stronger community engagement among founders
- Ensure quality certification through EIT standards
For startups, this means:
- Access to expert-led content on strategy, funding, growth, and culture
- Personalized coaching sessions tailored to each venture
- Practical tools, templates, and frameworks for immediate implementation
For our participants, this recognition ensures:
- A quality-certified program vetted by one of Europe’s most respected innovation institutions
- Access to the broader EIT DeepTech Talents community, connecting over one million professionals
- EU-recognized certification that strengthens credibility within the DeepTech ecosystem
This recognition energizes us to expand the impact of blended learning for accelerators while maintaining quality and personalized attention.
Each Scaling Readiness cohort is limited to ensure quality interactions and personalized feedback. If you’re a later-stage DeepTech founder ready to scale, have achieved product-market fit and need alignment in strategy, funding, sales, team, and operations—this program is built for you.
