## About

Join us for an EriCa Ecosystem Breakfast with EriCa member Dr. Kevin Eboigbodin, PhD, MBA, to explore and discuss what it takes to build the commercial engine of a deep-tech company.Speaker: Dr. Kevin Eboigbodin, PhD MBA

“Technology excellence is only half the equation. Without a commercial engine designed from day one, even the most revolutionary deep-tech innovation can remain trapped in the lab.”

Drawing on his personal journey from academic research into the deep-tech start-up and corporate world, Kevin challenges the common assumption that commercialization is simply the last step of innovation. Rather, Kevin argues that customer discovery, market validation, IP strategy, business-model design, and commercial thinking should evolve alongside the technology itself.

Using practical lessons from his own experience across biotechnology, diagnostics, life sciences, and deep technology, he explores how founders, researchers, investors, and innovation leaders can reduce commercial risk, identify market opportunities earlier, and build the capabilities needed to scale.We will discuss questions such as:

The morning combines Kevin’s perspectives and practical examples with an open discussion among participants.

Who is it for?Researchers, founders, start-ups and spin-offs, corporate innovation and R&D professionals, investors, and others working with deep-tech commercialization.
