365 days (and pages) later...

Today together with Francesco we had a panel review at the ESA BIC Lazio office for the StroNGER project piezoTsensor.
The review was based on a presentation of the major outcomes we had in the first 12 months of the 24-month project, and a 365 page report containing 9 deliverables and 18 annexes, covering a total of 8 work packages.
PiezoTsensor is an advanced sensor for the optimum energy management in building HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Condition) systems, under development by StroNGER, with the financial and technical aid of the European Space Agency (ESA).
We are looking forward to successfully finishing the project!

European Space Agency (ESA) Investment Readiness Programme (IRP), Lazio - June 5/6

Last week I participated in the European Space Agency (ESA) Investment Readiness Programme (IRP) Lazio in Rome, one of the 5 ESA IRPs to be held this year.

My involvement in ESA - BIC Lazio is as an entrepreneur for the Space Technology Transfer project piezoTsensor with StroNGER S.r.l. (http://www.stronger2012.com).
 

ESA IRP aims to help early-stage entrepreneurs increase their likelihood of acquiring seed-level or venture capital funding.

Rick Salmon (http://ricksalmon.com) the program leader, worked with the participating entrepreneurs, representing 9 companies, to fine-tune our business models and sharpen our business propositions.

The event was very intense, and focused on improving communication skills for presenting to investors. During the second day, I had the opportunity to present and receive expert feedback on a 5' PowerPoint pitch presentation. I also showed a 30'' promotional video for piezoTsensor, prepared ad-hoc with the help of a good friend who is a professional graphic designer.
