VC Roundtable: Scaling Europe’s DeepTech Edge

In Europe, deeptech sits at the intersection of immense potential and persistent challenge. While the continent offers strong scientific research and industrial know-how, translating these strengths into scalable companies remains difficult. Fragmented markets, lengthy commercialization processes, and unclear exit scenarios continue to slow momentum and test investor confidence. This roundtable brings together leading European and global VCs to explore what needs to change: How can deeptech ventures become more attractive for investment? What does it take to move from breakthrough to scale? And how can capital help build not just successful startups, but resilient ecosystems – connecting infrastructure, talent, and policy? More details coming soon.
