How can breakthrough research reach the market? That's the question TEF Foundry, created by Tech Europe Foundation, was built to answer.
A 9-month program (Oct 2026–June 2027) designed for research-based teams to test the commercial viability of their technology and explore its potential to become a scalable company.
Built on the foundations of Switch to Product — previously run by PoliHub - Innovation Park & Startup Accelerator — TEF Foundry takes the journey one step further, supporting teams in moving from lab to market through clear milestones, world-class mentorship, and non-dilutive funding.
