Academy.OSA.Ventures trains entrepreneurs, engineers and innovators in TRL development, prototyping, IP, and sustainable materials using OrganicSteel.store tools.
Learn. Prototype. Build. Scale.
Academy.OSA.Ventures is the training platform of OSA SIA, designed for entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, product developers and anyone preparing to create, test or scale a new hardware or materials-based solution.
Our programs teach practical deep-tech skills using real tools from OrganicSteel.store and the OSA micro-factory ecosystem. We help learners move from idea → prototype → pilot → scalable product through a structured TRL 1–9 pathway.
At Academy.OSA.Ventures, learners gain hands-on experience, not just theory. They work with real regenerative materials from OrganicSteel.store, access micro-factory workflows, and learn how to build validated, fundable, and manufacturable deep-tech products.
