Cambridge Tech Week: Startup Connect Many thanks to Mike A. and the teams from Google Cloud and Future Planet Capital for inviting me to a great Founders and Investors Networking Event as part of Cambridge Tech Week. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the incredible innovations happening on university campuses and in SMEs across the city and the country. In 2023, Cambridge was second only to London in the UK for venture capital investment, raising over £1bn. Moving into early 2024, Cambridge even surpassed cities like Geneva and Zurich in terms of VC investment. Impact investing is now becoming a key driver in shaping the future of the tech ecosystem, with more startups focusing on sustainability, social impact, and ethical growth. By backing businesses that make a difference, investors can empower entrepreneurs to solve global challenges and create long-lasting, positive change. Let’s continue to support innovation that not only moves markets but also moves the world forward. #CamTechWeek #Innovation #TechTransformation #CambridgeInnovation #FutureTech #VentureCapital #PrivateInvestors

Europe's VC revolution: Beyond Silicon Valley's shadow 🇪🇺 Europe's start-up ecosystem is not only following Silicon Valley's lead but innovating and creating its unique narrative. A recent Financial Times's study highlighted that Europe is reshaping the tech sector and catering to its specific needs and opportunities. Countries such as the UK, Germany, and Spain are leading the charge, hosting the most influential start-up hubs. These incubators and accelerators are not just mere copies of their American counterparts, but pioneering spaces fostering unicorns. In other words, it's not about creating the next Silicon Valley but nurturing a uniquely European ecosystem where start-ups flourish on their own terms. https://lnkd.in/dTwNcfVV #TechInnovation #EuropeanTech #InvestmentOpportunities #FutureOfTech

We recently gathered at the DeepTech Alliance Clean Energy Summit in Barcelona to discuss how radical innovations can drive the future of clean energy. Enrico Deluchi, Chairman of DeepTech Alliance, reflected on the forming of the Alliance and the importance of international collaboration in transforming global challenges into growth opportunities.   🔹 The Vision: Radical innovations and international collaboration is badly needed to tackle global challenges such as carbon emissions reduction and supply chain transformations. For this reason DTU Science Park and The Danish Industry Foundation initiated DeepTech Alliance in 2018 to join forces with other startup ecosystem hubs across Europe to connect the most promising European Deep Tech startups with business partners needed to get their solutions to market and scale internationally 🔹 Achievements: Since 2021, we have assessed over 6,500 ventures, conducted six Business Creation Programs, and identified 220+ business opportunities. Our efforts have enabled successful collaborations like TechEnergy Ventures' investment in Luminescent and Bosch's partnership with IPercept. 🔹 The Challenge: Despite Europe's world-class scientific research, much of our intellectual property remains commercially inactive. By fostering cross-border collaborations, we aim to bring Europe to the forefront of global innovation. 🔹 Looking Forward: With 10 member countries and a goal to reach 20 by 2026, the DeepTech Alliance is growing. We are excited to welcome Beta-i • collaborative innovation from Portugal as our 11th member and look forward to upcoming events in Munich, Oslo, and Paris.   Enrico’s closing thoughts resonate deeply: "Transforming problems into opportunities requires more collaboration, innovation, and goodwill. By joining forces, we can unleash the full potential of European science-based innovation for global impact." Thanks to The Collider and Mobile World Capital Barcelona for hosting a great event for the alliance. Let's continue to drive innovation and collaboration for a sustainable and just future. 🚀💡 #DeepTechAlliance #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Collaboration #EuropeanInnovation #Sustainability #Startups #TechSummit #Barcelona2024 Industriens Fond Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/deSA-kKb

Twelve Western Australian tech companies are heading to the US as part of a new accelerator program funding by the state government.

🌟Insights from Week 2 of the GovTech Connect Boot Camp with Tomasz Rychter, Jaromir Beranek, Dorin Miclaus! 🌟 Last week, we hosted a roundtable of GovTech and Innovation experts at the local and national level from Central Eastern Europe, who shared valuable advice and insights with our cohort of 13 innovative startups, including how: 🤝 "Partnering with established vendors or tech companies can be an effective strategy for startups to gain a foothold in the public sector and build trust with central and local governments. " 🚀 "Securing a high-level sponsor within your target organisation can be a game-changer. An internal advocate, eager to challenge the status quo, can help you navigate public sector bureaucracy and turn your proposal into reality" 🔍 "In Eastern Europe, public authorities, especially at the municipal level, often require guidance in identifying and addressing their challenges. Startups can play a crucial role by highlighting these unmet needs and simultaneously presenting innovative solutions." Want to hear how startups can help drive public sector digital transformation?
