Europe is making a strategic push into deep tech, with significant support from major public investors like BpiFrance, Innovate UK, and the NATO Innovation Fund. This initiative is successfully nurturing scale-ups, though these emerging companies still require strategic customers to aid in their product development. Interestingly, 80% of Europe's tech ecosystem valuation is concentrated within the UK, France, Benelux, and DACH countries. This concentration is not only centralizing economic value but also attracting talent away from other parts of Europe. These insights were among the key takeaways from the recent TechTour event in Paris, hosted by William Stevens. We also visited Station F with Arda Kutsal. Arda's company TECH'EU is a key partner of EIC Scaling Club, which backs many of the participant companies at the event. 👉 For more insights from TechTour Paris, I recommend reading Jennifer Schenker's story: https://lnkd.in/dW4djwKb

Interesting article on innovation and deep tech ventures in #Europe: "Lacking a deep tech mindset ...Europe lacks systems that foster modern, deep-tech ventures, impeding collaboration between business and science.... European investors and institutions overseeing significant funds are often risk averse, limiting the novel, innovative deep tech ventures receiving investment... Deep tech innovation has the potential to drive significant long-term economic growth, with regions that fail to harness this power falling behind. If Europe doesn’t foster and invest in deep tech ventures or learn how to efficiently translate its own research into impactful innovations, it risks missing out on the most recent transformative revolution."

South West tech leaders gather in Bristol to discuss sector's future ⚙️🤝 Scores of participants were at this year's Tech Leaders’ Summit in Bristol in the wake of the General Election to outline a roadmap for the sector in the south west region. Held in Clifton, the summit on July 9, was organised by regional cluster Tech South West and built on work on the Look South West prospectus - the first such document for the South West of England tech sector. According to the prospectus, net zero technology including marine, agritech, biotech, clean energy and environmental science in the region generates £24.1bn turnover, while South West startups are 17% more likely to be operating after five years than those based in London. The event featured discussion groups and workshops and delegates formed action plans, focusing on things like investment, net zero, and a response to the new Government, ahead of a live vote to understand priorities.

When organisations work together collaboratively, sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise, they create an environment where innovation can flourish. These diverse networks are known as technology ecosystems. Hippo, like other companies, has been contributing to the growth of the North of England’s technology ecosystem. Fostering collaboration through initiatives like the Digital Health Hackathon and supporting talent development by partnering with Leeds Trinity University and UTC Leeds. Technology ecosystems have multiple benefits. They can drive innovation, support economic growth, and improve quality of life. These ecosystems play a vital role in shaping our future. •Innovation: Technology ecosystems provide a fertile ground for innovation, where diverse organisations and people can collaborate on groundbreaking ideas. •Economic growth: Thriving technology ecosystems can drive economic growth by creating jobs, attracting investment, and fostering entrepreneurship. •Improved quality of life: Technology ecosystems can enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities by delivering innovative solutions to everyday challenges.
