Incubators
Our themed incubator programmes, aimed at teams who have already crystallised their idea and are ready to take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey, offer tailored, personalised support to selected teams to ensure that their idea can reach its full potential and be unleashed on the world.
NEXUS — Deep Tech, AI & Sustainability

For those striving for a Deep Tech & AI-enabled sustainable future, NEXUS is the place to turn crystallised solutions into entrepreneurial journeys. Personalised guidance & support, international networks, world-class mentors and experts — all to guarantee your success.
