🎯 Check out our latest #report, created in collaboration with the Innovation Radar Bridge project, on #Startups backed by the #EU’s Framework Programmes.

💡 Did you know?
✅ EU-backed startups have received over €12B in funding, which helped them raise €70B in VC and generate €520B+ in value.
✅ Startups in physical tech, supported by EU funding, show a higher success rate. Translation: they’re less risky and offer higher potential returns.
✅ ARM and BioNTech? Both launched with EU funding before achieving global success.

📢 Why should investors take note?
🔹 Lower risk: EU grants allow startups to refine their technology before they even approach VC.
🔹 Top-tier selection: Only 2% of startups make it to the prestigious EIC Accelerator.
🔹 Continual support: Co-investments, introductions to corporates, and fundraising assistance ensure EU-backed startups never go it alone.

📢 New Report Just Landed!

🚨 Since 2014, the EU has invested €225B in R&I—yet only 5% goes to startups. That needs to change, as startups are proven to drive GDP growth!

We decided to analyse this pool of startups that no one talk about. We crunched the numbers with @Dealroomco, @EU_Startups , @ESNAlliance and @EU_Commission, and the results are eye-opening.

💡 Did you know?
✅ €12B+ in EU funding has gone to 13,600 startups—which then raised €70B in VC and built €520B+ in value.
✅ Physical tech startups with EU backing have a higher graduation rate. Translation? Lower risk, bigger upside.
✅ ARM & BioNTech? Yes, both started with EU funding before hitting it big.

📢 Why should investors pay attention?
🔹 De-risked: Grants help these startups mature their tech before they even raise VC.
🔹 Pre-selected: Only 2% make it to the EIC Accelerator—cream of the crop.
🔹 Ongoing support: Co-investments, corporate intros, fundraising help—backed startups don’t go it alone (that's where @Dealfloweu comes in!)
