We learned more about what TNO is doing for entrepreneurs.

TNO Fast Track is the independent technology partner for startups, scaleups, and SMEs—working across all TNO units with a demand-driven, agnostic approach. Leveraging 3,500+ experts, cutting-edge labs, and a global network, they bridge the ‘valley of death’ (TRL 4–6) and offer early-stage technology due diligence (“early sounding”) to deepen insight and reduce risk for investors and partners.

TNO Ventures complements this by driving inside-out innovation, transforming TNO-born inventions into market-ready spin-offs and strategic tech participations —  growth with licensing, equity, and shared labs.

Jointly, Fast Track and Ventures facilitate external and strategic tech participations. Their joint mission: Empower and accelerate (deep) tech entrepreneurship that delivers scalable solutions and societal value
