HighTechXL: Join our Casting Day recruitment event for new CERN team members

HighTechXL is always on the hunt for deep-tech, ground-breaking technologies to build fast-growing high tech companies with a sustainable impact. So the Netherlands’ only deep-tech accelerator is sponsoring a very special event on Friday, 18 January – a Casting Day to recruit new talents to our CERN teams.

Those teams need very specific talent, and you might be exactly the person we’re looking for. What’s in it for you? This could be your chance to join a CERN-backed startup that could become Europe’s next deep-tech Unicorn.

In January 2018, we met with CERN officials in Switzerland and got a glimpse of the revolutionary technologies CERN has developed. Together, CERN, Dutch partner Nikhef and HighTechXL took up the challenge to select promising technologies on which to build fast-growing companies.

What would you do with
• Accurate temperature control using the evaporation process of Co2?
• Long-distance structured laser beam?
• Compact high-frequency particle accelerator?

All these are indeed, barrier-breaking technologies … but now what? How do you build exceptional teams around such extraordinary technology? We started with a hackathon.

Journey so far

Teams formed after the hackathon and worked through the summer to build their business propositions to advance to the next phase: the three-month special edition CERN accelerator program, which started September 4th ….

During the program, we validated technology and customer needs simultaneously. With this came a whole new set of challenges, many pivots and lots of lessons. Now these companies are ready to expand their teams:

A new-generation soil-scanning solution that improves accuracy and efficiency of soil-scanning processes worldwide.

Dynaxion Agro is looking to expand the team for the HighTechXL 2019 accelerator program.

About us

Dynaxion Agro is a startup in its validation phase. We are active in the field of precision agriculture and are creating a soil scanner based on CERN technology to measure the nutrient composition of the soil. By doing so, we want to help farmers increase their yield while at the same time decrease the use of fertilizers, making food production more efficient, effective and sustainable.

In Q1 2019 we are going to further validate our product, create partnerships and build a bankable business model. In the end, we aim to create a global business.

Looking for

We are currently strengthening our team and are looking for enthusiastic people who would like to work with us on a part-time basis (+-2 days per week; time commitment can be discussed) starting February 2019, building a company in the field of precision farming:

1.     Agriculture expert / Soil scientist

Preferably with connections to Wageningen University and/or in the sector

Intern, Junior or Senior function

You will be working on validating the business opportunity with questions like:

–       What are the advantages (higher yield, lower costs) by using this technology?

–       What is the best market/country to target and what is the best crop to target?

2.     Physicist

Preferably a senior-level applied physicist

You will be working on validation of the technology with questions like:

–       What is needed to apply this technology effectively to measure the soil composition?

–       What are the strengths and weaknesses of this technology?

3.     Of course, other team members are also welcome. You can apply if you are enthusiastic and willing to ‘dig into’ a new business case. There is much to be done to strengthen the business case.

More specifically, we can also use people who can help structure processes and information and people who can negotiate with business partners.

What we offer

·      A dynamic workplace on High Tech Campus Eindhoven

·      Entrepreneurship experience and startup creation in a high-tech venture

·      HighTechXL team support with business and team coaching

·      As there is no bankable business plan yet and we are still pursuing funding, we are not able to offer a salary at the moment. If we identify a good business opportunity and receive funding, we will become an actual business, and you will be a valuable player on the team.
