From Research to Global Impact: Closing Europe’s Scale-Up Gap and Strengthening European Sovereignty
Description
Europe is getting better at turning world-class research into startups. But that is only half the job. We must also scale our most promising deep tech companies into global leaders—strengthening Europe’s competitiveness, resilience, and technological sovereignty. In this panel, we will discuss what it will take to make that happen—and what is already underway.
