As I delved into the 2023 Deeptech Report, a few critical insights stood out, highlighting the immense potential and the challenges faced by the European Deeptech sector. 1. Strength in Research, Gap in Entrepreneurship: Europe's universities are bastions of research excellence. However, the translation of this research into entrepreneurial ventures remains limited 2. Funding Challenges: European-based Deep Tech companies have historically struggled to secure growth funding, a trend that is gradually changing but still presents a significant hurdle 3. Equity Burden: Comparatively, Europe faces a higher equity burden than its counterparts, affecting the way startups scale and operate 4. Regulatory Hurdles: The extensive regulatory framework in the EU is often seen as a barrier, potentially stifling innovation by imposing complex requirements. 5. Diversity and Inclusion: A mere 10% of VC funding in European Deep Tech went to startups with at least one female founder. This calls for a significant push towards greater inclusivity and diversity 🌍 The report suggests some key areas for improvement: • Embracing risk culture. • Promoting talent clusters to attract expertise. • Enhancing the terms for spinouts. • Expanding the LP base and governmental role in innovation. • Reviewing innovation policies with a focus on diversity 🔍 The journey ahead for European Deeptech is fascinating. We're on the cusp of significant breakthroughs, yet there are hurdles to overcome. Let's engage in this journey together - innovating, funding, and nurturing a more inclusive ecosystem.
