Yesterday, our colleague Cyril Vančura participated in the DeepTech panel at TNW Conference. These are his key takeaways: 🔹 Positive Sentiment: The sentiment about the potential of European DeepTech startups was highly positive. There’s a strong belief in the innovative capabilities and future prospects of these ventures. 🔹 Leadership in R&D: Europe is globally leading in DeepTech R&D. However, we need ambitious startup entrepreneurs who can transform this R&D excellence into globally leading companies. 🔹 Global Mindset: For European startups to thrive, they need to think globally from day one. Much of the customer base for DeepTech innovation is outside of Europe, and adopting a global perspective is crucial for success. These insights underline the opportunities and challenges within the European DeepTech ecosystem. At imec.xpand, we’re committed to identifying disruptive innovations in DeepTech and HealthTech, and catalyzing the growth of our portfolio companies. #TNWConference #DeepTech #innovation #TNW #TNW2024
