🌍 Scaling Deep Tech in Europe

🇪🇺 Europe’s deep tech moment is now — but scaling it takes more than just great inventions.

This bold report reveals what’s holding us back: 🧠 A fragmented talent ecosystem struggling to retain the best minds 💸 Funding gaps, especially at the growth stage (only 14% of EU deep tech companies reach Series C) ⚖️ Risk-averse investors and policymakers who talk innovation but fear uncertainty 🌐 Weak connections between research, industry, and venture capital

But it’s not all doom and gloom. The report sets out a real execution plan for Europe to lead in AI, quantum, robotics, semiconductors, and next-gen materials. That includes: 🔧 A call to create 1,000 scaleups across 10 years 👥 Building a talent flywheel through global hiring and EU-wide mobility 🏦 Plugging the Series B & C financing gap with sovereign funds and institutional capital 📈 Creating scale-up-focused innovation policies — not just R&D ones

⚙️ Whether you're a founder, investor, or policymaker, this is your playbook to put Europe in the deep tech driver's seat. We don't need more slide decks. We need execution. And this report shows exactly how to do it.
