Launch Your Energy Tech Idea into Market Reality
Take your idea further with structured support, expert feedback, and a community that understands EnergyTech - geared towards solo ideators or founding teams approaching the pre-seed and seed stages. EI2S is a focused, execution‑oriented program for those who have a concept, challenge, or very early stage venture to advance. Whether you're looking for validation or scaling, this program will sharpen your focus, test your assumptions, and plan your next steps.
This is not just a theoretical workshop. You'll work on real validation and receive case-specific feedback from mentors and peers.
