Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

37. Lisa Eriksson (KTH Innovation) – Building Europe’s Deeptech Pipeline
Q: How do you view AI's role in deep tech and its impact on time to market?
AI acts as an enabler across deep tech by enhancing simulations and data gathering, allowing fewer physical prototypes and faster validation, thereby reducing time to market and costs while enabling more robust, scalable technology development.
37. Lisa Eriksson (KTH Innovation) – Building Europe’s Deeptech Pipeline
Q: Can you tell me a bit about how the Pioneer Program works and why it was created?
The Pioneer Program is a collaboration between KTH Innovation and KTH Ventures that scales matchmaking between research teams and experienced venture builders, bringing industry and academia together early to form viable deep tech companies, with fixed terms and a system to capture IP for commercialization.
37. Lisa Eriksson (KTH Innovation) – Building Europe’s Deeptech Pipeline
Q: So in one minute, what's KTH Innovation and KTH Ventures and how do they fit together?
KTH Innovation is the university's entry point for early-stage innovation, focusing on broad, hands-on, and inclusive support for researchers, students, and faculty; KTH Ventures is the venture arm that invests in spinoffs and deep tech, connecting founders with a vast investor network and overseeing IP transfer and commercialization.
35. Tomas Becklin – Teaching Infrastructure to Speak Animal with Flox
Q: How did Flox's technology come about and evolve from a drone concept to an edge wildlife platform?
The initial idea grew from using drones to manage wildlife and crops; co-founders built on research showing acoustic signals can communicate with animals. The platform now emphasizes an edge device with autonomous operation, real-time data, and the Wildlife Platform software to manage hardware and future integrations.
31. Mala Valroy – Industrifonden & the State of Deep Tech 2025
Q: What should founders consider when talking to actors like Industrifonden about getting a term sheet?
Founders should articulate why they are pursuing funding, demonstrate a clear path to product-market fit, and show how the technology translates into a scalable business, not just a strong PhD or technical claim.
