We were able to gain an incredible amount of know-how from the experts and the mentor. This enabled us to solve many problems that would otherwise have cost us a lot of time and, of course, to continue scaling our company.

VentureLAB helped me with REEDuce at a very early stage to flesh out my idea, define clear priorities and goals, and lay the foundation for my sustainable noise barrier project with the support of mentoring and networking.

We benefited the most from the extensive network. We held regular coaching sessions with experts from the startup environment. From legal advice and innovation management to investor relations and finance, everything was covered.
The VentureLAB gave us, as a young company, a certain stability and the indispensable potential to develop quickly on a secure basis.

In the early years, NEXO focused on product development. At the beginning of 2025, the VentureLAB came at just the right time to help us take the next step and refine our business model. By the end of the program, we had reached several important milestones: our first LOIs, a data room ready for investor meetings, and the commitment of our very first employee.

In our opinion, the VentureLAB was the perfect framework for approaching a startup idea in a determined but flexible way. The relatively flexible framework, which also had “prerequisites” and some follow-up dates, was therefore perfect. You also get to know a lot of like-minded people with super exciting ideas, can get inspiration from them or the experts and are generally very well pushed by the environment to continue pursuing your ideas.

The VentureLAB helped us to meet the right people for our business and connect to experts from relevant fields to accelerate our progress.
