About Our Venture Building Programme
We offer 1-week to 3-month curated programmes designed to nurture deeptech entrepreneurship within universities, tech transfer offices, corporates and research institutes. These are built to:
- Inculcate the entrepreneurial mindset within deeptech researchers, through real founder sharings from those who have successfully commercialized and scaled their deeptech IPs
- Help deeptech ventures scale from ideation to validation and go-to-market
- Offer access to global mentors, IP experts, and investors
- Run the programme in complete online and hybrid model, with world-class instructors—incredible founders, great academicians, investors, policymakers, and corporate partners
- While we improve the deeptech IP portfolio, we also ensure these IPs are successfully built as innovations and scaled into geographies like APAC, North America and GCC
- Our venture building programmes are tailored to ensure students and researchers inculcate the entrepreneurial mindset and also learn the 101 of ideation to exit of deeptech venture creation
- All course materials and resources will be provided
We license our deeptech IPs from tech transfer offices and build ventures around them. We assemble the right team, provide critical resources, and secure early-stage investments. Our focus is on de-risking the venture through structured support and validation. Once ready, the venture is spun off as an independent company.

“Withholding half the world population from access to information and resources; denying them a platform to share their perspectives and ideas; denying them an opportunity to create deep tech ventures, will be detrimental to an inclusive society that is empowered by technology. Industry 5.0, is the future of the world Someone should have realised the lack of representation of women in education and technology; someone should have realised the impact of climate change. Those ‘someones’ should have decided to act on these problems by building an ecosystem of like-minded stakeholders It just took someone and a community to lead us to where we are today as a modern society. ‘m one of those many ‘someones’ who could envision that women and other representational minorities and industry 5.0 will lead us into the future.”
