Syntezia's Role
Syntezia Sàrl co-organised the 2026 edition and developed a TEKTiTE 2026 Readiness Programme to help selected teams prepare for the e-pitching experience.
The programme was organised around three areas:
- Strategic Alignment & Roadmap
- Support focused on clarifying objectives and preparing for high-value matches, including strategy stress-testing, Business Model Canvas work for the digital economy and Sustainable IT assessment.
- Innovation Capability Building
- Teams could strengthen their ability to respond to challenge-driven collaboration through Systems Thinking, Design Thinking and AI-enhanced negotiation techniques.
- POC & R&D Proposal Support
- Syntezia offered hands-on support around challenge statements, joint R&D proposals and impact evaluation metrics, helping teams translate opportunities into more structured project proposals.
The Purpose
The objective was to turn contact into action: helping innovative teams move from technology demonstration toward commercial partnerships, collaborative innovation, investment and real market opportunities.
