Open Horizons: Where Deep Tech Meets Business Impact

What happens when Europe's top women-led deep tech startups get direct access to the most pressing corporate challenges? You get Open Horizons, an EU-funded initiative designed to match groundbreaking startups with major corporations through fully funded Proof-of-Concept (PoC) projects. 

This is not just another accelerator. It's a game-changer for startups looking to prove their tech at scale, and for corporates ready to adopt real, tested solutions that can reshape industries.
