French term or phrase: à la sortie

• 7b : Et si on décidait maintenant de changer la grille de lecture en segmentant le secteur par application des technologies et le business model. Cela a été fait pour le nucléaire !
• 7c : A chaque business model et à chaque étape clé de la vie de la société, son financement adapté. A la recherche des chaînons manquants de l’idée à la ***sortie*** (industrielle ou bourse)
• 7 d : Le financement du chaînon manquant qui nous fait vraiment défaut ! La preuve de concept. Etat des lieux et initiatives

I am not 100% sure of how to translate 'sortie' in this context. The text is rather disjointed, I'm afraid. It's a summary of the contents of talks to be given at a conference. So, the context is not very clear. I mean if it's 'sortie en bourse' it's one thing - but I imagine you also have to combine this with 'sortie industrielle'.

Many thanks in advance,

Sheila
