This talk explores how deep tech innovations can successfully make the leap from university labs to the commercial market, drawing on real-world examples from Harvard, MIT, and the Cambridge, MA ecosystem — one of the most dynamic innovation clusters in the world. We’ll examine the critical steps in the technology transfer process, including identifying commercially viable research, navigating intellectual property, building entrepreneurial teams, and securing early-stage funding. The talk will highlight case studies such as Moderna, which scaled from MIT research into a global biotech leader, as well as Via Separations, a cleantech startup spun out of MIT that uses advanced membrane technologies to reduce industrial energy use by up to 90%. Via Separations exemplifies how deep science, guided by mission-driven commercialization, can lead to impactful, venture-scale companies — even at the early stage. We’ll also explore how institutions like The Engine (MIT), Harvard’s Office of Technology Development, and accelerators such as LabCentral support scientists and engineers as they navigate the journey from idea to enterprise. Key insights will include: What makes a scientific idea “venture-backable”? How to align academic incentives with business objectives Common pitfalls in early-stage deep tech commercialization How Cambridge's startup ecosystem supports long-horizon innovation 11h às 11h30 - Coffee Break 11h30 às 12h30 - Pannel 12h30 às 14h30 - Lunch 14h30 às 16h30 - Keynote -   Leena Walavalkar – Global Head, TCS Pace, Tata Consultancy Services The AI-First Knowledge Enterprise: A practical view   Enterprises have made significant strides in transforming work processes through automation. However, the realm of knowledge work remains a formidable challenge. Knowledge work, which includes complex tasks such as underwriting in banking and developing clinical protocols for drug trials, is essential for enterprise success but has proven difficult to enhance through traditional automation due to its inherent complexity. At TCS, we are taking a multi-model approach to enterprise GenAI, underpinned by purpose-bound, autonomous AI agents, that can transform knowledge work by improving the quality of decision-making. By empowering knowledge workers with personalized AI augmentation capabilities, businesses can drive transformative value across the enterprise and optimize their investment returns. This session will unpack this shift in light of emerging paradigms of human-machine collaboration and explore the role of AI systems in building smarter, more adaptive future Enterprise. We will also cover the critical technology, data and governance foundations needed to govern this shift. Session structure: • Future of Knowledge Work in the AI era • Building Key Foundations for AI in the Enterprise • Examples of AI led transformation in key industries – Energy, Insurance, Pharma • Managing the structural shifts and Leadership implications 16h30 às 17h - Hub Experience – Presentation of the Agenda for the Laboratory Tour and TCS AI-Powered Research & Innovation Center on 2/10.   Day 1– 01/10 – C-Level Experience   12h30 às 14h30 - Lunch C-Level (Quatá 67) 14h30 às 16h30 - Master Class - David Ricketts - Deep Tech Innovation + Case   Day 2– 02/10 – Auditorium 9h15 às 10h30 - Master Class - Fernando Baquero - Deep Tech Investment   University Participation in Entrepreneurship Ecosystem as Driver, Investor, and Creator of Economic Growth. This session will examine the evolution of U.S. universities as engines of innovation and startup creation, starting with the development of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) following the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act. This legislation empowered universities to commercialize federally funded research, leading to diverse licensing models—primarily royalty-based in regions with weaker entrepreneurial ecosystems (e.g., Cornell), and equity-based in tech hubs (e.g., Stanford, MIT, Harvard). Over time, equity and royalty-based models yielded higher financial returns, prompting more universities to adopt startup-friendly approaches, including incubators, accelerators, and venture capital partnerships. However, ethical and operational dilemmas persist, such as whether universities should own equity, use endowment funds for private ventures, or define specific technology focus areas. Despite these challenges, successful institutions demonstrate that entrepreneurship programs have a significant impact on regional economic development and institutional competitiveness. While not all universities are equally positioned to foster startups, those that effectively integrate entrepreneurship with research and education can become powerful drivers of technological, economic, and societal progress.   Key insights will include: How and why did universities become interested in entrepreneurship What models of academic entrepreneurship support exist currently What models of academic entrepreneurship are considered successful and why How can universities participate in the growth of a regional entrepreneurship ecosystem and benefit from the wealth created   Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the differences between academic entrepreneurship models, the programs and policies employed by top universities worldwide, and how to apply these learnings to their own region and educational institutions.   10h30 às 11h - Round Table 11h às 11h30 - Coffee Break 11h30 às 12h30 - Keynote - Pesquisador ou Especialista TCS 12h30 às 14h30 - Almoço 14h30 às 17h - Hub Experience + Laboratory Tour and TCS AI-Powered Research & Innovation Center (conforme inscrições)   Day 2– 02/10 – C-Level Experience 12h30 às 14h30 - Lunch C-Level (Quatá 67) 14h30 às 17h - Hub Experience + Laboratory Tour and TCS AI-Powered Research & Innovation Center (conforme inscrições)   Day 2– 02/10 – Bootcamp – Fernando Baquero 14h30 às 17h - Bootcamp - Deep Tech Investment (conforme inscrições)   Bootcamp on Deeptech and Early-Stage Investing This bootcamp will provide practical training on how to invest in deeptech and early-stage startups. Research universities are creators of innovative technologies and are often interested in seeing these technologies become drivers of successful startups. For these startups to become successful and financially stable, they must succeed in navigating the “valley of death,” a period in their life when technology development, business model, pricing strategy, and overall value proposition need to be validated with little to no revenue. Investors play a key role in helping startups pass the valley of death, proving capital, resources, training, connections, and experience necessary for the startup to succeed. Investing in such early-stage startups requires a particular strategy, discipline, and that is managing expectations that are not common in the traditional investment world. Early-stage technologies often have long development cycles, are frequently found in heavily regulated industries, or require substantial capital expenditures before they can be proven viable. Usually, the markets they apply to are nascent or non-existent, which makes their sales cycle sometimes as long as decades.  The success rate of deeptech startups is typically low, but their ultimate returns are high. A 2024 study in Harvard Business Review found that the average ROI for deeptech startups was 26%. In this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals of building their early-stage deep tech portfolio. They will also understand how to work with universities and startups to deliver greater ROIs for their investments.     Key insights will include: Deeptech fundamentals Angel Investing and Venture Capital What investors should consider before investing in deeptech How to assess a novel technology How to perform a financial and operational analysis of startups How to conduct due diligence and build a diversified deeptech portfolio What to do post-investment, reinvestment, and exit   Attendees will also apply their learnings to the analysis of four startup companies, two from INSPER and two from Cornell Tech. In the final session, investors will decide which one of the four startups is worth an early-stage investment.  "},{"id":"inscricoes","text":"Registrations"},{"type":"html"},{"id":"participantes","text":"Participants"},{"fileName":"site.png"},{"text":"David Ricketts Dr. David S.
