The Challenge: Find and launch a relevant PoC, quickly
Tensions are rapidly rising around the supply of critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and copper. Repsol, a global energy leader, wanted to explore new ways to support their mineral sourcing strategy. They wanted to identify scalable technologies for mineral recovery and recycling, while reducing risk, cost, and environmental impact.
The Hello Tomorrow Approach
This project was designed around a concrete business use case in a dedicated industrial asset, with its specific physical and economical constraints. This was about identifying the right technologies and connecting with the right startups around the world to launch a PoC, as quickly as possible.
In a 3-month mission, Hello Tomorrow brought outstanding measurable results from exploration to execution:
- 8 technologies targeted, and 104 startups identified and assessed
- 6 top deep tech startups shortlisted for PoC collaborations, identified from Hello Tomorrow’s proprietary database
- 2 startups selected for launching a PoC, and connected to Repsol by Hello Tomorrow
Results
✅ From use-case to signed PoC in 90 days, rather than 1 year
✅ Put Repsol ahead in the global race for critical minerals
✅ Real dealflow, not just research and reporting
