Conception X
Accelerator, Incubator, FellowshipActiveA venture programme that turns technical PhD researchers into venture scientists, designed to run alongside a doctorate rather than requiring founders to leave their research. The flagship Venture Scientist 100 is a nine-month fellowship with 18 active co-building sessions, expert coaching, and investment for top teams, plus access to a large European deeptech PhD founder community. It takes no equity and charges no fees, and reports that 34% of participating teams go on to build high-growth companies. Alumni span 92 universities across 15 countries; the next cohort opens in September 2026.
