Here is the fifth edition of #T-TeC, the Telespazio Technology Contest, the Leonardo and Telespazio Open Innovation contest open to students and university researchers in STEM subjects from all over the world!

Turn your idea into a start-up

The participants in the fifth edition of #T-TeC will be competing in two different categories, Idea and Prototype, dedicated to projects with different levels of maturity. 

For the Prototype category, in addition to a cash prize for the first three classified, the team presenting the most ready project to be transformed into a commercial offer will have an extra opportunity to access the accelerator programme of Seraphim Space. 

Some of the projects in the Prototype category will be able to access an incubator programme with Lazio Innova, a company of the Lazio Region.  

A cash prize of EUR 5,000 will instead go to the winner of the Idea category. 

Lastly, the possibility of supporting a Proof of Concept (thanks to Leonardo) will be assessed for one of the proposals that is ready for the laboratory verification of the achieved results. 

 #T-TeC 2023 will close officially on 10th December 2023, which is the last day to submit proposals.

In the weeks that follow, the panel of judges will examine the projects and select the winners, who will receive their awards in Brussels in January 2024, during the 16th edition of the European Space Conference.
