We're bringing together leading investors, LPs, policymakers and ecosystem builders to explore how to accelerate entrepreneurship and innovation in Europe, and the role of the European institutions in the task. Join us on 30th October in Warsaw.
We'll also be sharing a first report of it's kind measuring the impact of EU-backing (e.g. grant funding) for startups.
We've measured the scale of the ones that got away - formerly European startups that moved overseas. The direction of travel of transatlantic acquisitions. The level of US ownership on European cap tables. And the concentration of European tech - half of European tech value comes from just six countries, how can the rest of the continent's potential be unlocked? Join us to discuss and find out 🌶️
Europes’s startup ecosystem is rapidly evolving, driven by the intersection of cutting-edge technology, policy, and investment.Innovation Pulse: Europe’s Power Network is an upcoming event that invites EU-funded startups, investors, policymakers, and researchers to explore the future of the European startup ecosystem. Taking place on 29 November at WeXelerate in Vienna, this free-of-cost event offers a unique opportunity to address the critical challenges and opportunities in advancing high-tech and science-driven innovations across Europe.
As INVEST approaches the final stages, our team composed by Dealflow.eu,Linknovate and CRIT is refining the methodology for delivering precise and insightful Technical Due Diligence (TechDD) assessments.
Recently, we completed thorough evaluations of three pioneering, EU-funded companies: Volograms, Spindrive, and Fairbrics.
Vologramsis revolutionizing the augmented reality (AR) landscape with its AI-based 3D holographic human capture technology, making volumetric video more accessible and immersive.
Spindrive is advancing energy storage efficiency through its cutting-edge active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems, enabling more sustainable and reliable energy solutions.
Fairbrics is leading the way in sustainable textile production, utilizing CO2 emissions to create synthetic fabrics, offering a more eco-friendly approach to textile manufacturing.
These innovations not only highlight the technological ingenuity within the EU’s ecosystem but also underscore their potential to address global challenges.
