Programme Overview
Following the success of its first edition, the PhotonHub Scaling Club 2.0 is being relaunched to fast-track your go-to-market strategy and secure significant investment funding. Join an exclusive group of 10 scale-ups and gain access to strategic mentorship, investor introductions, and tailored guidance to secure follow-on funding. You’ll also have the opportunity to form partnerships, and collaborate with key industry stakeholders – all while fostering innovation and driving sustainable business growth, by applying here
To qualify, your company should fit the innovation scope, have raised over €1M in the past 3 years, and be ready to scale by advancing technology from TRL 4. You can propose a technical upscaling project (moving up from TRL4) to one or more of the 30+ technology partners which will be considered by PhotonHub in a fast-track approach for co-funding at 85% by the European Commission – the co-funding amount can go up to EUR 250K.
