Silko Barth

I help companies turn complex scientific and technical ideas into real, working systems.

With a background in experimental physics and as co-founder and CTO of a climate-tech startup, I specialize in bridging the gap between scientific research, engineering implementation, and commercial application.

My work focuses on early-stage and scaling DeepTech projects, especially in areas such as climate technology, industrial processes, materials, mining, and physical systems.

I support companies in:

• translating scientific concepts into practical technical solutions

• evaluating technical feasibility and risks

• designing and validating experimental setups and prototypes

• structuring technical projects and development roadmaps

• preparing pilot and demonstration systems

• supporting technical due diligence and investor discussions

I bring a combination of analytical rigor, hands-on experimental experience, and entrepreneurial thinking. I am particularly effective in situations with high uncertainty, where clear structure and fast learning cycles are critical.

Recent experience includes:

• CTO and co-founder of a CO₂ mineralization startup

• development and validation of industrial process concepts

• pilot planning and integration with industrial partners

• technical leadership in interdisciplinary teams

I work independently, communicate clearly, and integrate quickly into existing teams.

Available for short-term consulting, project-based work, and technical advisory roles.
