J-Ventures Fund’s Post

🎤 Speaker Thoughts! #1 Deeptech VC Investments have been a hot topic at our recent conferences, but what makes them so compelling in the Mediterranean region? How are these countries progressing in building a thriving ecosystem? Here’s a preview of what Maria Cristina Odasso, Head of Business Analysis at LIFTT, will be sharing on these challenges at the upcoming 0100 Conference Mediterranean: “The venture capital landscape for DeepTech in Mediterranean Countries presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. DeepTech encompasses sectors like robotics, quantum computing, advanced materials, biotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI), and others...all those technology fields have unique risk profiles linked to the high level of capex investment required, the long development time to reach the market, and the intrinsic technological risk. Mediterranean Countries have a strong academic and research heritage and the VC ecosystem is growing such as the policy support. So, the future potential is high. Within this context, investors can play a crucial role in accelerating this transformation bridging the gap between research and market, building collaborative ecosystems, supporting talent development, and being patient with returns”. Maria Cristina will be speaking at the Deeptech VC Investments panel alongside Stephan Wirries, Partner at Ventech, Alexander Vaselek, CEO at CIMEDO GmbH, and Dr. Moritz Belling, Principal at Earlybird Venture Capital. The conversation will be moderated by Rocio Pillado, Partner at Adara Ventures. 😊 Register now for the 0100 Conference Mediterranean and don’t miss this insightful discussion!
