Skylab Pilots
Skylab Pilots match deep-tech startups with external businesses and DTU students and researchers with the purpose of developing innovative solutions.
Each Pilot project runs for 10 months and will be anchored in the DTU Skylab Developer Hall, where the project has access to workshop and lab spaces and many other facilities designed for building, testing, and exhibiting deep-tech prototypes.
Why join as a startup?
Startups are by definition running a variety of experiments in the hope of finding the legendary Product-Market fit. However, being extremely limited on resources the startup needs to prioritize which experiments to run and which to ignore. By joining Skylab Pilots your startup will:
- improve your chances of success by being able to run more experiments
- get critical help in developing market-ready solutions
- get valuable experience from working with an established company
- have access to all facilities of the DTU Skylab Developer Hall
Next application deadline: September 10th 2023 at 23:59.

- dramatically improve your innovation bandwidth and competitiveness
- get a market-ready solution to a challenge of your choosing
- stronger network in the tech startup ecosystem be exposed to DTU students and researchers
