I hit up two big tech fairs in Europe this fall, and I’ve got to say, it gave me a lot to think about. I’ve been an entrepreneur for 20 years and toured more than my share of European fairs. Used to be these events were packed with the same old giants—Siemens, Bosch, ABB, the whole corporate circus. Nothing against them, but this year? Something different. For the first time, I’m seeing small businesses, hungry startups, and SMEs showing up in force—taking over a third, sometimes even half, of the floor. It’s a shift, and it’s damn refreshing. These new generations in Europe, they’re not just sitting around—they’re hustling, building, and dreaming up a better future for this place. But here’s the thing: we can’t smother this with EU overregulation, especially in AI. But with the right partners, there’s always a way to navigate through it. If we let new entrepreneurs breathe and give them room to move, they’ll create something extraordinary. The spirit’s there; now we just need to make sure the system doesn’t crush it 🚀

POV: You're a start-up founder and have 30 minutes to convince the XPRENEURS team of your team's potential 🧐 Once all applications are in, we don't let founders wait long. In an intense pitching week, we invite the 45 most promising teams for a 4-minute in-person pitch plus Q&A to the Munich Urban Colab. Only 20 start-ups will be selected to join our program! These 5 days are both some of the most exciting and most challenging days for the team. So many decisions: Who shows the most potential to become the next high-tech star? Who will benefit most from our program and the UnternehmerTUM ecosystem? Who needs a bit more time to prepare the basics, or is already too advanced? Fortunately, we have some of our best mentors volunteering as jury members, such as Ferdie Bruijnen, Bernd Hetterscheidt, Dirk Zechiel, Tom Lapperger, Carol Cueva Camacho, Dominik Kaiser, Ines Pfeil, Markus Pratschke, Robert Neuhauser and Ralph Meyer. 💜 And we can count on our partners from UnternehmerTUM Funding for Innovators (Paolo Oppelt and Mauricio Fleischer Acuña) 🧡 as well as the TUM Venture Labs: Florian Doetzer (Aerospace), Antoine Leboyer and Bastian Burger (Software/AI), Sonja Stange (Robotics), Nic Knapp (Mobility), Dr. Sabine Klein and Felicitas Eidenschink (Healthcare), Alexander Laprell, Charlotte Falk and Stefan Blenk (LegalTech), Christopher Trummer (Quantum), Sascha Schwarz (Additive Manufacturing) and Lars Eiermann, Roman Werner and Sarah Jessl, PhD (Sustainability); and last but not least Léonie Trick from Vector Stiftung 💙 Thank you all for your support! Until now, we've already seen a lot of potential stars in many different fields. It's going to be a tough debate during selection day 😎 Do you have a team you're rooting for?

🌟 What an amazing day at Summit Sifted yesterday! 🌟 I had the opportunity to attend two incredibly engaging sessions: 1️⃣ Can Europe Catch Up in the Space Race? 🚀 This panel was fascinating, with experts like Joshua Western (CEO, Space Forge), Barry Lunn (CEO, Provizio), Andre Ronsoehr (Partner, Seraphim), and Imane Marouf (CEO, Ecosmic) discussing Europe's position in the global space race. Their insights on innovation and policy in the space sector were really eye-opening. The potential for European space tech to lead the way is exciting! 2️⃣ Alternative Ways to Fund Your Startup 💡 This session, featuring Ezme Verity (Considered Capital), Triin Linamagi (Sie Ventures), and Andy Davis (10x10), highlighted creative funding strategies outside the usual VC path. I learned so much about the evolving landscape of startup finance, and the session really broadened my understanding of the options available for founders today. 3️⃣ Discovering Innovative Companies: Beam & Nebius ⚡ Outside of the sessions, I was especially intrigued by two groundbreaking companies: Beam and Nebius. Beam is leading the charge in deep tech, using AI and autonomous robotic ships to service offshore wind farms. Their cutting-edge automation is empowering the global energy transition, delivering huge time and cost savings across all lifecycle stages of wind farms. 🌍💡 Nebius caught my attention with its high-performance data center in South Finland. Featuring in-house server racks built for cloud-specific high loads, modern electrical solutions, and an advanced free-cooling system, Nebius is pushing the boundaries of cloud infrastructure. With engineering hubs across Europe and a team of over 500 professionals, their innovations in cloud and machine learning are truly remarkable. 📡☁️ It was a day full of learning, inspiration, and future-shaping ideas! 💥 Véronique Trang Telmi Beam - formerly Rovco/Vaarst Nebius Barry Lunn Andre Ronsoehr Imane Marouf Triin Linamagi Andy Davis Space Forge Ecosmic - WE ARE HIRING Provizio Seraphim Space 10x10 Philanthropy Considered Capital Sie Ventures #SummitSifted #SpaceRace #EuropeInSpace #StartupFunding #Innovation #Beam #Nebius #TechCommunity #Entrepreneurship #Learning #Startups #FundingAlternatives #Inspiration #GlobalEnergyTransition #CloudTech

Say hello to Madelene ✨ Näslund, project manager for Tech at Business Region Göteborg! Exciting news, you're headed to Paris, France, for the "Deep Tech Days" organized by Hello Tomorrow on 21-22 March! 1️⃣ What happens at Deep Tech Days? Companies and investors focusing on deep tech showcase their innovations and invite attendees to engaging presentations! My colleague Iris Öhrn and I will discuss Gothenburg's efforts in the field and highlight key success factors. We hope our contribution on "The Gothenburg way" will provide valuable insights about the city to both investors and startups! 2️⃣ What are your expectations for the fair? I hope for inspiration and learning as deep tech is a broad subject and can therefore be perceived as complex. Gothenburg is already prominent, but there's always room for improvement! It will be interesting to hear others' perspectives on deep tech from an investor standpoint! 3️⃣ Tell us about "The Gothenburg Example"! We're hosting a side event on 21 March where several interesting speakers will shed light on various areas within deep tech where Gothenburg excels. The organizers are Chalmers Ventures and Business Region Göteborg, along with GU Ventures, Chalmers tekniska högskola, and MobilityXlab. They will share insights into the collaboration between the universities and the ecosystem, how it operates, and why it's so unique! ### Deep tech is a term used to describe research-based startup companies that work on cutting-edge R&D (research and development) to address complex societal challenges. Their potential lies in their ability to fundamentally transform multiple industries, unlike startups with faster time from idea to market. #DeepTech #lifescience #startup #collaboration #gothenburgtech #Gothenburg
