On June 1st, the Tec Labs team attended the final presentations of the “Projeto Empresarial” course, a joint initiative between Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa and Iscte - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa 🚀

Throughout the semester, multidisciplinary teams brought together students and projects from Ciências, contributing the scientific and technological foundations of their ideas, and students from ISCTE-IUL, who explored the business and management dimensions needed to develop an initial business model 💡

Tec Labs was pleased to support the programme, which culminated in a public presentation of the projects, showcasing the creativity, dedication and entrepreneurial mindset of all participants.

A special thank you to the jury - Rui Ferreira, José Vale, Miguel Garcês Roxo and Rui Cortes - for their valuable insights and evaluation of the projects.

Congratulations to this year’s top teams 👏

🏆 1st place: Aurora
🥈 2nd place: Lyra
🥉 3rd place: Consenth

We would also like to congratulate the remaining teams - Digital Cell Twin, OriPack, BaroAir, NeuroWake, Motis and EmprestaAí - for the quality of their work and presentations throughout the programme.

At Tec Labs, we are proud to support these projects and contribute to the development of future innovators and entrepreneurs.

Need data before making a decision? 📊🚀

Whether you're validating a market, identifying trends, or supporting an investment case, good decisions start with good data.

The OECD Data Explorer gives free access to thousands of datasets covering topics such as innovation, entrepreneurship, technology, education, labour markets, sustainability, and economic performance. It was designed to help users find, understand, and use OECD data through an accessible interface.

For founders, researchers, and innovators, it's a powerful tool to move from assumptions to evidence.

👉 Explore it here:

Sometimes, the best way to validate an idea is to start with the data 📈

Good startup ideas don’t start with ideas. They start with problems.

Paul Graham’s insight is a reminder that the best ventures are not born from abstract thinking, but from real-world problems that you observe, experience firsthand, and simply cannot ignore.

At Tec Labs, this is where many journeys begin: identifying meaningful problems and working towards solutions that create real impact.

Because innovation is not about forcing ideas.
It’s about paying attention 🚀

🚀 Pollen, a startup incubated at Tec Labs, has emerged from stealth mode and raised a €3.2M seed round to accelerate the future of electric two-wheeler mobility.

The company is building a universal battery-swapping network that allows riders to replace batteries in under a minute, making electric mobility simpler, faster and more accessible for everyday use.

📍 After launching its first network in Lisbon, Pollen is already preparing its international expansion, with Spain identified as its next market.

As Rui Bento, Co-founder and CEO of Pollen, puts it:
“Cities can’t hit their climate goals while millions of everyday rides still run on petrol. But people won’t switch just because something is electric. They want a simpler and more affordable way to get around.”

Building in deep tech? You should know this 👇

Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) are a simple framework used to assess how mature a technology is - from early-stage research to real-world deployment.

Understanding where your project sits can help you:

- communicate better with investors and partners;

- align expectations;

- identify your next step.

Whether you're in the lab or already scaling, knowing your TRL can make your path clearer.

Because innovation is not just about ideas, it’s about readiness 🚀
