This is not a case study. This is a live deeptech execution exercise. It is a 10-week, sprint-based collaboration between 44 highly selected students and 10 Deeptech startups operating at the frontier of science and industry. And this year, we are deliberately bridging the gap between business and the lab with an exceptional group of partners across many industries: ๐งฌ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ข๐จ & ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ - WhiteLab Genomics (by Sarah Cordelle, David Del Bourgo, Natasha Liu): Benchmarking and structuring next-generation Scientific Advisory Boards in TechBio and genomic medicine. - Biomemory (by Erfane Arwani, Victoire Gallerne): Identifying adoption barriers to move DNA data storage from cold archives to scalable deployment. ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก & ๐๐ฎ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฆ - Coros Space (by Sanath Muret): Mapping the ecosystem for orbital space data centers and defining a European industrial roadmap. - Quandela (by Simon Tessier, Marie Soustelle): Mapping global quantum computer deployments to identify early adopters in HPC and research.
