Deeptech Matching
About this good practice
For a deeptech start-up project to succeed, it is essential to combine scientific excellence with business skills. To make it easier for these two worlds to come together, Deeptech Matching has been launched. The target group? Researchers who have a project to create a start-up but don't want to get involved as founders, as well as project founders looking for a co-founder to support the development of their company.
How does it work?
- A team of experts is dedicated to sourcing skills and qualifying needs from researchers and managers.
- A dedicated job board, called "Matching Zone", is set up to help startups get in touch with profiles looking for opportunities.
- Researchers benefit from comprehensive, personalised matchmaking support to build strong management teams within deeptech startups.
Deeptech Matching is part of the Parcours Deeptech program, supported by SATT Ouest Valorisation, Atlanpole, Angers Technopole, Le Mans Innovation and Laval Mayenne Technopole.
