Travel Grant 2026 United Kingdom, London Tech Week Ignite Delegation, 7–10 June

Important results from the project

The project met its objectives. The dialogue with a potential industrial partner was strengthened and may lead to collaboration. A new customer contact was established, and initial collaboration has begun through testing. The project also identified new applications for existing products.

Expected long term effects

The project is expected to lead to future business opportunities through a strengthened collaboration with an industrial partner and the newly established customer relationship where testing has been initiated. The results reduce market risk and improve the conditions for commercialization. Identified new applications for existing products also enable market expansion without significant additional development efforts.

Approach and implementation

The project was carried out over three days, combining networking events, conference participation, and pre-scheduled meetings. Day 1 included an evening networking event. Day 2 focused on London Tech Week and an additional evening event, enabling both broad exposure and new contacts. Day 3 included targeted meetings with an investment banker and an industrial partner, followed by return travel. The structure enabled a balance between broad networking and focused business discussions.
