Programme

Lab2Market Prep Workshop

Structured commercial thinking for research teams before the pitch room. For teams with strong technology and a clear research vision, but not yet the commercial framing that customers, partners or investors need to see.

The translation from research logic to market logic, before it costs you the room

Research teams and institutes often have strong technology, a clear research vision and a (partially) working prototype. What they don't yet have is the commercial framing that potential customers, partners or private investors need to see before they engage.

That translation from research logic to market logic is exactly what the Lab2Market Prep Workshop is designed to do. A foundational workshop to start bringing research to market.

Three formats are available, each entering where the team actually is. The right format is determined by the team's current technical and commercial maturity. A short exploration call will identify which applies.

Who This Is For

  • ·Research teams at universities and institutes with strong technology and early prototype
  • ·University spin-out candidates preparing for first external conversations
  • ·Deep tech lab teams who have not yet started commercial thinking
  • ·Teams who have developed a pitch and want honest market-lens feedback

Designed for different stages of commercial maturity

Each format enters where the team actually is. The formats can be booked individually. A short exploration call helps identify the best approach.

A four-hour facilitated session for a cohort of research teams or founder teams, tailored to the stage and domain of the group. Ideally for research teams at early TRL, university spin-out candidates and deep tech lab teams preparing for first external funding conversations.

A structured session with quick exercises. It opens the commercial lens without pressure. The group leaves with a shared language and a clearer sense of what the partner or investor conversation will require.

Lab2Market Deep Structure Workshop

Single team · Ready to model commercial potential

€3,500

Per team

Book a Call →

A four-to-six-hour working session for a single research team or founder. Active commercial thinking applied to the team's specific situation. The session takes the team's current technology status, prototype scope, research vision and early commercialisation ideas as input and models the commercial potential together through guided holistic thinking.

The result is senior practitioner thinking applied to the specific commercial opportunity, noting first results and potential paths. The written documentation and action plan captures that thinking in a form the team can act on, develop further and share.

Format 03

Lab2Market Assessment

Single team · Pitch deck developed, want honest feedback

€2,000

Per team

Book a Call →

A structured two-hour assessment session for teams who have already developed a pitch deck or commercial storyline. The assessment works from the team's existing material as input and applies a defined eight-dimension framework to produce a written gap analysis.

The Pitch Readiness Report & Gap Analysis is a document the team can use directly in preparation for funding conversations or commercial partner conversations. It identifies where the narrative is strong, where the gaps are, and what needs to happen before entering a serious investor or partner meeting.

The focus is on the commercial storyline: the real gaps in thinking, positioning and market logic, beyond the structural traps common to most pitch decks.
