CERN has developed some of the world’s most advanced technologies to operate the largest particle physics laboratory globally, with applications spanning healthcare, environment, aerospace, and digital and quantum domains. Through the CERN Venture Connect (CVC) programme, these technologies are translated into high-impact startups addressing real-world challenges.
Spicehaus is a partner of the CERN Venture Connect programme, acting as a connector between entrepreneurs, cutting-edge technologies and investors.
Hanaé Taxis from CERN Venture Connect will present CVC’s activities and how science-driven innovation is commercialized and scaled. We are also pleased to welcome founders from our portfolio and the CVC ecosystem:
- Marc-Elian Bégin, CERN alumnus and founder of Xcert AI, on opportunities and challenges in aerospace and space.
- Kyriaki Bongard, co-founder of ExNunc Intelligence, on legal innovation, trust, and compliance in regulated tech environments.
- Georgios Stoikos, founder of Lighteye, a CERN Venture Connect startup operating Europe’s largest wind LiDAR network using CERN laser technology.
