Corporate Inside Session #2 – Telekom

From the lab to Europe’s biggest telco: how do you actually get there?

Deutsche Telekom runs a surprising number of programs for startups, from research cooperations and funding projects to pilot opportunities and its own incubator. But where do you start, who do you talk to, and what does Telekom expect from a young company?

In this Corporate Insight Session, Riccardo Pascotto from T-Labs gives an honest overview of Telekom’s startup landscape and walks us through the different ways founders and researchers can work with one of Europe’s largest tech companies. Expect concrete examples, practical tips, and plenty of room for your own questions.

The session is open to anyone curious about turning research into a business: postdocs, scientists, and founders at any stage. You don’t need a finished pitch deck, just an interest in what a corporate partner could do for your idea.
