The gift of @atomico to business angels is here: The State of the European Tech executive summary is out! This comprehensive overview encapsulates the most crucial data points of the year, delving into key indicators of the ecosystem's health and spotlighting both challenges and favorable aspects. 📊 Key findings indicate a global decline in investment levels, marking a market reset that extends far beyond European borders. Projections for 2023 suggest a decrease to less than half of the peak seen in 2021 across all global regions. 🚀 Despite a global slowdown, Europe stands out as a leader in producing new tech founders, consistently surpassing the United States over the past five years. The resilience of European entrepreneurs shines through, even with a heightened threshold for entering entrepreneurship. 💰 Following a downturn resulting in a $400 billion reduction in ecosystem value, there's exciting news of a significant rebound, bringing the total ecosystem value back to an impressive $3 trillion. This resurgence is attributed to a robust recovery in public markets, elevating Europe's value to its historical peak. 📖 Curious to explore further?

Our report on the EU scale-up gap is finally out!
Our latest report “The scale-up gap: financial market constraints holding back innovative firms in the European Union”, sheds light on European scale-up companies and the future of Europe’s innovation. European scale-ups are highly productive companies, with the potential to become the big champions of tomorrow. But as scale-ups prepare to expand beyond their local markets and establish themselves internationally, they encounter obstacles. This hinders Europe's ability to remain technologically competitive on a global scale, particularly in innovative areas like greentech, AI, and quantum computing. The EU is attractive for foreign venture capital, but European companies raise only half as much capital as their Silicon Valley peers. They often rely on foreign investors and face a higher likelihood of being acquired by non-EU companies. This trend threatens the next generation of European start-ups and drains entrepreneurial talent. To address these challenges, our new report recommends deepening Europe's Capital Markets Union and ensuring that public interventions catalyse private investment. Our President Nadia Calviño highlighted the need for a unified capital markets union and coordinated public policies to create a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem.

🌟What legacy for the EU tech regulation? 👇My key points from yesterday's discussion with MEP Morten Løkkegaard & Mathieu MICHEL Belgian Secretary of State for Digitalisation in European Parliament. ▶ Revolution vs. evolution European policies tend to support slow and steady - evolutionary - innovation. Revolution always has victims. Of course, we want the best of both worlds - that's why sandboxes for innovation in policy changes are the bare minimum. ▶ Deep tech vs. digital When it comes to sectors to focus of Innovation Agenda is on deep tech and “standard” industries. Polici enables evolution but whenever there is an opportunity to revolutionize through digital innovation it becomes a bureaucracy hell. ▶Policy as deterrent vs. opportunity Policy can be a business opportunity - take a look at Envirly or CleverClaim. BUT one important thing that enables them to grow is that the policy they rely on is unified across the whole EU. Innovators need to work fast (“move fast and break things”), focus on product, clients, funding… When policy is complicated and differs from country to country no surprise that some startups opt to just go straight to the US. ▶Regulation vs. enablement In my opinion, in the whole policy discussion more focus should be put on policy that enables startups to operate seamlessly within EU, not just regulating industries. Make it easy for startups to develop, get funded, hire, work & sell in all EU countries. The right way forward for innovation policy is for sure to invite more and more innovators and entrepreneurs to the discussion table. I feel honoured to be able to be one of them yesterday. Thank you Allied For Startups and Startup Poland for the invitiation and warm welcome. 🌟 and thanks Martijn Lindeman and Sacha Michaud for great conversations yesterday - it's always exciting to meet other founders with such passion! -- (yes, I asked for a selfie in European Parliament. I am still Gen Z 😉) #europe #europeinnovation #europeanparliament #EUpolicy #startups #innovation

first time I see objectives and authorative arguments to support the claim (seen in my own experience) that greentech have even more difficulties to raise funding + idea that compared to other tech, the gap with the US is less big, see p.28-29 and recommendations p 37-39 Also in the EIB 2023 sustainability report « The acute lack of capital for late-stage growth and scaling of climate and environmental technologies has also been a point of focus, with the EIF supporting a number of new fund initiatives in this critical market segment.” (p26) https://lnkd.in/eYC-vBzf

Approving laws to encourage research and innovation is one thing, transforming laws into a reality is another. That’s the reason why the European Commission Research and Innovation Days exist. What barriers are there to implementing those policies? How can we prevent some of the best European startups and researchers from leaving the EU? What are the steps to create a single, unified European market where small businesses can grow and thrive? Those are some of the questions being addressed right now in Brussels. Excited to share my perspective as an entrepreneur tomorrow during the “Research Careers” session 💡 Follow online here: https://lnkd.in/dCXSntR5 #EuropeanCommission #HorizonEurope #startupjourney #biotechfounder #RiDaysEU
