Batch 2 Remarks
Airzyme
We have every week at least two hours of interaction, which was always great. So the people at Baker Hughes always listen to us, they understand what we need, they go back to discuss internally and come back with new experts, new insights that can really help us further. This is the differentiator from all other acceleration program that we have been attending. So for example, in other acceleration programs, they just work down a sheet, so you have to do this, this .. and that’s it. In the Baker Hughes program it’s us who tell what we need and they come back with all the support and help they can give us.

One point that is really relevant for us are all the resources that they had put inside of our company like from business mentors to technical mentors also related to engineering. So this one was invaluable. We have been part of other incubation programs and the thing I would highlight as a differentiator is that at some point during this program they have become even part of our company. So we have been deeply involved, every week we have been doing meetings: it’s intense, but on the other side you learn and you growth really fast!
Cooling Photonics
We have been part of multiple accelerators or incubation programs and most of them are not driven by a corporate so it’s more like organizations which help working on generic things. Here we have a component of that as well, it’s the Nana Bianca part trying to somehow address what is a general help for general problems that everybody is facing, but the main difference is that people like subject matter experts and people from Baker Hughes are actively searching for a business case together with us in order to have a partnership.
