For corporations
WHAT WE OFFER
Elpis Labs drives open innovation by connecting startups with corporations through innovation challenges and softlanding programs. We help businesses develop a structured global market entry strategy framework, ensuring successful expansion into new regions.
For the past decade, our team has identified, interviewed, and collaborated with thousands of startups, designing accelerator programs for global venture funds and driving innovation initiatives for governments and corporations. We continuously scout and evaluate new startups, staying ahead of emerging technologies and trends.
In addition to startup scouting, we help leadership teams stay competitive by organizing corporate learning tours, connecting them to key industry players in the US and facilitating visits to top innovation hubs.

“It is a very complete program... it allows different industries to benefit from the experience because it’s not 100% focused on just one niche. It connects you with different actors: institutions, entrepreneurs, investors, and potential clients. The program is a great instance to reconnect and learn how to better enter the U.S. market, ensuring the team is up-to-date and ready for the challenge.
We managed to close a deal with a major financial provider in the U.S. . They’ve opened the doors for us to start operating as brokers across the entire United States. Although we couldn't meet during the physical tour due to scheduling, the contact was generated there, we followed up digitally, and the meeting was highly effective.
We now have a list of about 10 potential providers waiting for us.”
