Participants from the BICs spend one week at CERN*, organized by the Knowledge Transfer Group, identifying the commercial potential of CERN technologies. 

The aim of the screening week is for the participants to work on their ideas and see how they can use CERN expertise and technologies to help go-to-market faster

The final presentations Friday morning are open to everyone.

* This edition is done virtually for all events at CERN. Local BICs will host them at their premise based on Occupational and Health Safety requirements of the region

Thursday, 28 October

08:00 → 23:00 Work

Prepare presentation for Friday. To include in the presentation:

• Problem you are solving and solution
• Market segment/size
• Who are your customers? Who are your users? Market/customer segmentation
• Business model and strategy (recommendations: is this something that can be solved by a start-up?)
• Team needed for a start-up
• Recommendations: next steps. What needs to be figured out? What are the challenges ahead?

The idea of the presentation is to give a realistic view of your findings, and not a glory picture of your case. The goal is to present all the relevant aspects of your business case, to be able to evaluate whether it is desirable to start a company to solve this problem.
