Qatalyst has joined Cohort 9 of Conception X, a deep-tech venture programme supporting research-founded companies.
The programme provides a structured environment for turning technical research into a commercially focused product, with emphasis on customer discovery, product strategy, venture development and investment readiness.
For Qatalyst, the focus is on translating solver research into clear decision workflows. This includes SOLA for energy-infrastructure siting and expansion planning, alongside optimisation support for allocation, scheduling and routing.
Participation in Conception X supports the next stage of product validation: identifying the decisions customers genuinely own, the evidence required to support those decisions and the most credible route from pilot delivery to recurring software.
