I really hope to see the end of this stupid war as soon as possible. Although this is of course not the most critical issue now, I congratulate the EU's decision to support Ukranian's innovation through the EIC. https://t.co/VvyakpEkgC

Seed funding keeps on sinking and Europe is not the exception. When do you think it will start recovering?
