What is TEF Foundry?
It’s a 9-month, gated deep tech validation program (October 2026 – June 2027) that helps deep tech teams decide whether their technology should become a venture. Built for research-based teams from Politecnico di Milano and Bocconi University, it compresses years of trial and error into a structured journey across market, technical, and team validation, taking participants from a defensible scientific insight to a validated concept, ready to become a scalable company.
