🌟 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! 💥

Looking forward to represent Philipps & Byrne and contribute to the bio builders track of Deep Tech Momentum. 🥳
Having dived into genomics software, medical imaging solutions, medical device, preventative medicine applications and robotics cases, I'm curious to see all the new stuff that folks are working on. Kind of like going to the proverbial candy store. 🍭
Some of the companies at #DTM24 span the labels: AI, bionics & prosthetics, medical imaging, nanotech, preventative medicine, robotics, simulation and more. Some names with quick (possibly botched) layperson explanations in parenthesis: Biomod AI (Techstars '24) (think: AI-powered genetic engineering), Effex (DoE, think: lab experiment optimisation), Ignota Labs (AI-enabled drug discovery solution for RCA of clinical safety issues), Symphera (robotic surgical systems), Summa Labs, Inc. (hormone testing device), mo:re (lab robotics), Tomorrow Biostasis GmbH (cryo), Srotas Health (AI-enabled clinical trial platform), BIOVOX GmbH (bioplastics for medical use-cases), Figura Analytics Limited (nanotech-based particle analysis in fluids for food and pharma), Deepflare (AI-enabled drug discovery against cancer), Wholomics (early-stage cancer tests), Moonlight AI (cancer therapy based on imaging of liquid samples), Green Elephant Biotech (cell cultivation tech), Silica Corpora (personalised antibody therapeutics) and many others. I'm stoked! 😁
Thanks Isabelle Flanagan and Johannes Schmidt for setting this up. 🙏🏿
