How can startups effectively navigate fundraising in Europe? Is it better to focus on local investors initially, or to expand their search across Europe right from the beginning? In this segment, Anke Cassing, Principal at HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds, observes that startups typically secure their initial funding domestically due to frequent interactions in the early stages of their development. However, she emphasizes the importance of looking beyond national borders, particularly for healthtech companies, suggesting that these firms should consider European-wide opportunities from an early stage. The full #LSIEurope23 panel, ‘Continental Capital: Dissecting Innovation & Investment Dynamics & Trends Across Key European Geographies’ is available on our website and YouTube channel. This panel features: • Alessio Beverina — Panakes Partners (Moderator) • Sylvain Sachot — Asabys Partners • Anke Cassing — HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds • Filip Pintelon — Capricorn Partners Want to see more panels like this?

Travelling to Munich today with DeepTech Alliance executive director Thomas Klem Andersen for the kickoff of our 4th Advanced Manufacturing Program, hosted by UnternehmerTUM I go to a lot of conferences and events - because you got to practice what you preach - the best way of creating meaningful collaborations and relation, that will lead to action, is the physical meet-up. That is where people with specialised knowledge and exceptional skills can tap into structures that will connect them with the right resources and people with complimentary skills, to take them further and beyond and create a impact bigger than what they would be able to achieve alone. But not only the structures need to be in place. Essential for the success of an ecosystem of innovation are the connectors - the glue that helps add up the parts to be greater than the sum of the components. People in Open Innovation, who work on the inside of the corporates to identify needs, look for solutions and help smooth the way for collaboration, POCs and pilot projects. CVC units who will support deep tech ventures with risk capital for large capital investments, that would be very difficult to find through traditional VC or other capital structures. People in the Incubator, accelerator and venture builders around Europe who work to support, develop and add robustness to the startups coming through their ecosystems. But to me, nothing compares with our own community events. Great people from the best deep tech Startup hubs around Europe, Open Innovation, CVC’s and Tech scouts from the most forward leaning corporates from Europe and beyond - many whom we have know for long and look forward to catching up with - and a sprinkle of new people joining and a brand new batch of mature European startups selected by our members with guidance from our corporate’s needs. Besides connecting startups and corporates - we also connect the connectors! Can’t wait to catch up and meet all the new joiners🤝 #openinnovation #CVC #deeptech
