Miles Kirby, CEO Deeptech Labs said, “Europe has a number of global advantages in deeptech – we have 50% of the world’s best universities and the highest number of highly cited research papers - but there’s a disparity when it comes to European investment in deeptech companies. European deeptech companies attract $33 billion compared to $144 billion in the US.

Thanks to our deeptech-specific accelerator programme, our cohort companies are stronger, more resilient and have highly focused go-to-market strategies and that’s why so many investors attend our Demo Days – and how we are helping to fix the European deeptech investment gap.”
