We had an inspiring exchange with two of our key accelerators! A few weeks ago we were invited to meet the teams from H2UB and TUM Venture Labs. We are part of their accelerator programs and it's amazing to see their support for hydrogen startups like us at Turn2X! Finding common ground and potential synergies between these two accelerators has been a valuable experience. → Reflecting on the journey since my first company in 2016, the landscape for startups in Germany has changed immensely. The growth and support has been exponential. What struck me was the richness of our startup ecosystem. → Sector-specific accelerators like H2UB, with its laser focus on hydrogen, complement broader programs like TUM's that cast a wider net but still focus on climate solutions. It's this diversity and depth that allows us to push boundaries and drive change. I look forward to working with both programs and changing the way we approach green energy! Thanks for the inspiring exchange Uwe Kerkmann, Sarah Jessl, PhD and Lars Eiermann. #greenenergy #climatechange #unternehmertum #startup #accelerator

The #EICfund has approved €1 billion to #Deeptech VC investments: 15 startups in Spain. That is ≈ 10% of the 159 startups that the venture investment arm of the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), has invested in since starting operations in September 2022. I found that interesting and wanted to give these 15 EIC-funded Deeptech companies in Spain their rightful place in the international limelight, to reach more investors and talent globally. My newsletter is about the founders and tech talent that are building game-changing #impactstartups in Greentech, Cleantech and Deeptech, in Spain.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to work on a proposal for #innovationpolicy actions with the Dealroom.co and GLOBSEC teams, and I found out a lot of interesting things about the Danube Region's innovation ecosystem. I was delighted to read, last week, in the report "The State of Innovation in the Danube Valley", about the startups, innovation and venture capital fueling a new industrial revolution along the banks of Europe's greatest river. Data on the startup ecosystem of the Danube Valley, edited by Dealroom in partnership with GLOBSEC & the Federal Ministry of Labor and Economy, Austria. I highlighted some interesting ideas from the report: 📌 The Danube Region startup ecosystem is worth a combined €157B in 2023 📌 88% of VC investment has gone into startups in the Western and Central Danube regions 📌 the Danube Tech Valley attracts foreign startups & tech companies: there are over 1,000 secondary offices of global startups across 60+ cities in the region 📌 In Danube Tech Valley SaaS startups receive more investment in comparison with the global VC investment 📌 The Danube Region has a highly educated and skilled workforce, particularly in STEM fields. This talent pool is crucial for creating, developing and implementing innovative solutions 📌 Value creation is widely unequal across the Danube Tech Valley, with Western and Central Danube accounting for 90% of the combined enterprise value of all startups in the region For more data and statistics, I invite you to read the report 👉 https://lnkd.in/dPm_pShS #innovation #DanubeRegion #TechValley

Sustainable construction is not a lofty thingumajig. It's happening. But it feeds on genuine innovation and partnerships.
