#techweek24 I hear tomorrow's techweek kōrero is one of the highest registered events! It comes as no surprise to me as more and more Māori are exploring a career in tech and the worldwide interest in the Māori tech that is being developed and in market already. I am encouraged by the amount of research and mahi being done to ensure our Matauranga and people are kept safe. Thanks NZTE and Te Hapori Matihiko If you have not registered yet for tomorrows kōrero please do so in the link below as I join the panel to discuss our tech Companies from a te ao Māori perspective.

Later today, we will be welcoming 48 of Europe's most promising deep tech scale-ups to Brussels for our 'Ignition Forum', the kick-off event for our first cohort of EIC Scaling Club-supported companies. 🚀 Those companies are part of one of four pre-defined market sector groups, namely 'Digital Security & Trust', 'Next-Gen Computing', 'Renewable Energies' and 'Smart Mobility'. But what are those market groups all about? Who are the investors and other stakeholder members in the EIC Scaling Club for those groups? How much capital have the 12 companies in each market group raised (and on average)? Where are they based? Who will be mentoring them? The answers to those questions, and many more, can be found in our 'Market Highlight Reports', which bundle all the information with insightful data on top - provided by our partner Dealroom.co. 📊 You will also find links to download the reports in PDF format in the blog post linked below in the comment section.
