Hello Tomorrow (with their partner BCG) was one of the first defining the term deeptech, popularizing it into a world-renowned competition designed to discover early stage “deep tech” startups, that are developing cutting edge technologies to tackle worldwide challenges.
Syensqo Ventures, the venture capital fund of Syensqo, is a long-time key sponsor of the Hello Tomorrow Global Summit, which will take place on March 21st and 22nd 2024 at Le Centquatre, in Paris.
As a company, Syensqo focuses on very different areas in order to achieve its sustainability goals. One of these areas is sustainable sourcing, in which Syensqo Ventures’ role is to help support the transition to sustainable, bio-based, circular and low-carbon materials. Through its Venture Capital fund, Syensqo invests in and partners with early-stage companies, acting as an accelerator, working with startups to help bring their innovations to the world – and help them become high-growth and high-impact companies.
Syensqo Ventures is the exclusive sponsor of Hello Tomorrow’s track on “Industrial Biotech and New Materials”, and for this year’s competition 6 companies active in bioproduction, biotechnologies and greener and cheaper chemical manufacturing, have been chosen as finalists.
They will be pitching their innovative solutions to a jury, of which Syensqo is part of, at this year’s Hello Tomorrow Global Summit, on the 21st and 22nd of March in Paris. Ten startups will win customised coaching sessions and personal introductions to relevant investors & potential partners/clients, while the top three will win equity-free cash prizes.
