As the Internet Economy enters its next stage of maturity, the new frontier will be science-based deep tech. Europe, with a very strong science base, has a natural advantage in this new frontier. Will this allow it to become a global player creating deep tech unicorns or will it continue to lag behind the United States and China? This panel will explore what policies lead to innovation and whether creating these unicorn companies should always be the end goal.

A lot of parties have a role in creating impact from knowledge and science. In this masterclass we take a look from the perspectives of various parties: What do companies and large multinationals look at and how do you get on their radar? Why do they choose cooperation or not, what can a KTO do and what is your role as a BD employee or legal to build up a good and sustainable partnership?  

A special part of the program is the feedback of the 10 winning start-ups from the Academic Startup Competition. They will share lessons learned from the start up ecosystem in the US and will highlight how science can contribute effectively to create business with social impact.

While automation and ‘learning machines’ are already replacing repetitive tasks in areas like finance and HR, humans need to adapt, change and upgrade the skills organizations will be looking for. But how do we prepare for a future that we can’t predict? What hurdles do we need to overcome?
