Derivation Chain

Step 1 Launch of national science & technology innovation fund
Step 2 Deep-tech regulatory barriers
Step 3 Regulatory sandbox application support tool

Problem

Deep-tech startups funded by government science & technology funds (drones, autonomous vehicles, biotech, etc.) must commercialize novel technologies that don't fit existing regulatory frameworks, often requiring regulatory sandbox applications (ICT, industrial convergence, etc.). However, it takes 1–2 months just to figure out which sandbox to apply to and what the requirements are, and the application failure rate exceeds 60%.

Solution

Enter your startup's technology and business model, and the system automatically recommends the appropriate regulatory sandbox type and provides step-by-step application guidance: (1) Match the right sandbox type (ICT/industrial convergence/fintech, etc.) based on your tech and business model, (2) Application writing guide based on past approved cases, (3) Auto-generate a draft application.

Target: Seed to Series B deep-tech startup founders and business development leads in drones, autonomous vehicles, biotech, and fintech
Revenue Model: Per Transaction billing: sandbox matching + guidance session $112, draft application generation add-on $187
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
