Great science doesn't guarantee a great business. 🔬 The lab is where energy ventures are born — but it's not where they survive. Between a working prototype and a paying customer lies a gap that kills more startups than any technical failure ever could. That's exactly why we're excited to welcome Lars Eiermann, Chief Business Development Officer from TUM Venture Labs, to the Energy Launchpad Summer School as a speaker. 💬 "The hard part of an energy venture starts after the science works, when the market still doesn't pay for it. That's the phase we need to prepare founders for." At the Summer School, participants learn to close that gap — turning research into ventures that the market is ready for. 🚀
