Ph.D. training cultivates deep expertise in a specific field but translating that knowledge into real-world impact requires additional skills. PhDeep, led by Synergy7 in collaboration with the Nuclear Research Center – Negev (NRCN) and DCIC, is an entrepreneurial program designed to bridge this gap.
PhDeep’s first cohort will focus on hydrogen energy. The program challenges Ph.D. graduates with real-world technological problems, equipping them with the commercial tools, mentorship, and applied research experience needed to turn innovation into viable ventures.
With Synergy7’s Entrepreneurial vision and NRCN’s technological expertise, PhDeep is designed to create commercially viable solutions through applied research and innovation.
Participants will propose solutions to one or both of these critical challenges:
Develop solutions for green hydrogen energy that remain viable regardless of cost constraints.
Innovate methods to reduce the costs of green hydrogen production and/or storage and/or usage.
✔️Tailored program for Ph.D. – A structured program to transform scientific expertise into ventures.
✔️Expert & Market Access – Receive direct mentorship from top industry leaders, collaborate with hydrogen energy experts, and gain insights into business, regulatory, and market challenges.
✔️Initial Funding Support – Eligible projects will receive assistance in securing initial funding to bring their innovation to market.
The program includes 4-5 intensive workshops, featuring technological and business mentoring, venture refinement, and funding application preparation.
Ph.D. holders in Physics, Nuclear Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electronics Engineering, and Electrical Engineering are eligible. (M.S. submissions will be considered in exceptional cases)
