02 / Services - How we work together
Two pathways. One ambition: turning DeepTech innovation into real-world impact.
Booster Labs works on both sides of the innovation ecosystem - accelerating DeepTech ventures and helping organizations design, activate and scale collaborative innovation.
For DeepTech startups
Accelerate your R&D and technology. Unlock deployment.
We help DeepTech startups move faster from R&D to real-world deployment by aligning R&D and technology, funding, ecosystem and market opportunities.
R&D & Technology Roadmap
Structure and accelerate R&D and technology development, identify critical milestones and build a clear pathway from scientific validation to industrial readiness.
R&D & Technology Deployment
Identify high-value use cases, early adopters, pilot opportunities and industrial partners to test, validate and deploy your R&D and technology in real-world environments.
Dynamic Funding & Grant Intelligence
Continuously identify and qualify relevant grants, public funding and non-dilutive opportunities based on your R&D and technology roadmap, maturity and deployment priorities - from R&D programmes to demonstrators, pilots and industrial scale-up.
Ecosystem & Strategic Partnerships
Build the ecosystem your R&D and technology needs to scale by connecting with corporates, research labs, R&D and technology partners, experts and institutions.
Funding Strategy
Align grants, non-dilutive funding, private investment and strategic partnerships with each stage of your R&D, technology development and deployment.
For corporates, institutions & research organizations
Design open innovation. Build collaborations. Accelerate impact.
We help corporates, SMEs, institutions and research organizations design and operate open innovation programmes and collaborative projects that connect strategic challenges with DeepTech solutions, startups and research capabilities.
Open Innovation Programme Design
Design tailored open innovation programmes - from strategic positioning and challenge definition to sourcing, selection, experimentation and deployment.
R&D, Technology & Startup Scouting
Identify and qualify emerging R&D and technologies, DeepTech startups and research capabilities aligned with your strategic priorities and innovation challenges.
Collaborative Project Design
Structure high-impact collaborations between corporates, startups, research labs and institutions around shared R&D, technological, industrial and market objectives.
Ecosystem Orchestration
Bring together the right stakeholders, expertise, R&D, technologies and resources to build effective innovation ecosystems and long-term partnerships.
From Experimentation to Deployment
Move beyond matchmaking by structuring pilots, demonstrators and pathways toward R&D and technology adoption and industrial deployment.
