From the lab to the marketplace, science and innovation shape our everyday lives. This episode explores how deeptech founders can navigate the complex path of turning bold ideas into thriving businesses.

Meet Victoria Garcia – molecular designer, entrepreneur, and relentless innovator – who’s created a game-changing biodegradable glue that can transform everything from your kitchen table to your takeout packaging.

But this isn’t just a story about science. It’s about resilience, risk, and reinvention. Victoria takes us on her journey across Europe, through academic obstacles, crushing setbacks, and a comeback story powered by purpose.
