Tech Tour Photonics 2021

 

Online Academy Sessions

 

The online academy sessions will take place three weeks prior to the event, online on 19, 20 & 21 October 2021.

 

They offer the companies that have been pre-selected, an opportunity to practice and fine-tune their investor pitch in front of a panel of coaches that will give feed-back and advice throughout the sessions.

 

The focus is placed on how to meet strategic partners and potential investors’ expectations. Participants receive guidance on how their presentations and propositions compare with those of other participants, as well as highlight the strengths and weaknesses which need to be addressed and improved.

 

*Please note the programme for the Online Academy Sessions might be subject to slight changes.
