Linn Kretzschmar on CERN Venture Connect, licences that cost nothing until €1m of revenue, and Inphocal using a CERN laser to mark bottles and fruit.
About this episode
Linn’s path into deep tech began in business and innovation management, including time at Vienna University of Economics and Business. Her initial exposure to CERN came through an EU-funded Marie Curie research project focused on valorizing technologies for future particle accelerators. That unique intersection—cutting-edge science meets real-world applications—eventually led her to join CERN full-time in 2022.
