I am genuinely excited about Europe's climate technology. The European Investment Fund allocated €350 million to Kembara Fund I FCR. This venture capital fund aims to reach a total size of €1 billion, focusing on deep tech and climate technology startups in the growth phase (Series B and C rounds), particularly in Germany, Spain, France, and #Sweden. It's particularly encouraging that the fund targets startups with strong intellectual property, blending scientific and engineering breakthroughs. As someone fascinated by innovative technologies, the focus on areas like #AI, robotics, and space technology really piques my interest. The funding gap for deep tech startups in Europe has been a concern of mine for a while. This gap often forces companies to seek investment from non-European sources, risking relocation outside the continent. That’s why I’m thrilled to see initiatives like the Kembara Fund addressing this issue head-on. These efforts are vital for Europe’s strategic autonomy, competitiveness, and ability to tackle pressing issues such as climate change. It’s an exciting time for European tech. Do you know any Swedish startups that could benefit from these funds? Mark them in a comment. #Startups #Funds

🗞 The European Investment Bank (EIB) has revealed some important insights ➔ Over a decade, #startups in the EU receive 50% less funding compared to their US counterparts. The EU also has fewer high-value companies, with only 15% of companies valued up to $500M and just 10% of those worth up to $10B. Additionally, 60% of tech startups in the EU are acquired by foreign firms, highlighting a significant #challenge in retaining homegrown #innovation. ⏹ To close this gap, the EIB suggests boosting #investment, completing the Capital Markets Union, and diversifying funding sources. 🔛 It's crucial for the EU to strengthen its tech ecosystem and lead in the green and digital transition. 🤔 What are your thoughts on how we can bridge this funding gap and support our startups? Let us know in the comments ✒

🚀 Big Win for Tunisia’s Startup Ecosystem! 🌍 Exciting times for Wattnow, a Tunisian climate tech startup that just secured a new round of funding to fuel its global expansion! Founded in 2018 by Issam Smaali, Wattnow is transforming how businesses manage their energy consumption through smart hardware and software solutions. With real-time energy monitoring, automation, and alerts, Wattnow is helping companies become more sustainable while optimizing their energy usage. 💡 What makes this even more exciting is the support of Karim Beguir, the founder of InstaDeep, a Tunisian AI startup acquired by BioNTech SE in 2023. This shows how successful exits can boost the local ecosystem, with Karim also investing in Clusterlab earlier this year. It’s a perfect example of how entrepreneurial success drives further innovation! Congrats to the team! 🌱 The future is bright for climate tech in #Africa! In another major move, the African Development Bank Group has committed $10 million to the KawiSafi II Fund, focusing on renewable energy, clean mobility, and climate solutions.

Discover the critical role of local insights in AGTech, especially in markets like #Africa, where understanding local climates and political landscapes is essential for effective investment.
What Factors Should Investors Consider When Evaluating AGTech StartUps? Opportunities and Challenges in AGTech Investments The AGTech sector presents a dynamic landscape, marked by fluctuating interest and investment valuations. Sarai Kemp, an #Agritech investor from Israel, highlights the shifting focus of generalist investors: "Many investors who joined during peak valuation years are now retreating. This exodus opens doors for my new venture #fund to capitalize on undervalued companies." Sarai also points to untapped potentials in Africa, emphasizing the necessity of local insights: "Africa's growing market is ripe with opportunity, yet effective #investment demands local presence to navigate diverse climates and complex political landscapes." The Critical Role of Team and Expertise in AGTech Startups Expertise and team dynamics are critical in AGTech's success. Sarai stresses the importance of discerning investment choices: "It’s vital to discern between promising and poor investments right from the start, ensuring you support teams with solid business and R&D foundations." Echoing this sentiment, Jean-Guillaume Marquaire from Norselab in Norway underscores the value of industry knowledge: "Understanding the agricultural sector is crucial. Regulatory knowledge can either facilitate advancements or become significant hurdles, particularly in fields like genetic engineering." Scaling and Long-Term Commitment in AGTech Ventures AGTech scaling is markedly different from typical tech ventures. Magnus Lind from SKANOR GROUP LTD in Sweden points out, "Unlike tech, AGTech can’t scale exponentially through rapid facility multiplication; active, informed investing is essential for tangible returns." Jean-Guillaume Marquaire highlights the sector's slow development cycle: "#AGTech investments are more akin to marathon than sprint, dealing with lengthy development periods dictated by natural growth cycles and requiring substantial #capital." The 193rd PIFW, "Future Harvest - Cultivating Investment Success in Agriculture," held on October 10, 2024, was a pivotal gathering for agricultural #investors. This exclusive event brought together 30 seasoned investors to address key topics. The discussions provided insightful strategies on navigating the future of agriculture and aquaculture investments. We sincerely thank our speakers for sharing their valuable insights at the forum: Craig Astill Magnus Lind Sarai Kemp Jean-Guillaume Marquaire Join our investment community by registering for the upcoming 194th G.I.L.C.
