European #DeepTech Ventures to Watch out for in 2018

January 11, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

EIT Digital has identified Europe’s best deep technology companies in five digital key areas. The companies were awarded in the EIT Digital Challenge at the end of 2017 and will now receive comprehensive support to accelerate their international growth.

Sensors that enable drivers to find free parking spots faster and thus make cities cleaner. A low-cost assessment tool for detection of dyslexia at an early age to provide timely support. These are only two of five deep tech scaleups that EIT Digital has awarded in the EIT Digital Challenge 2017 to support their international growth in 2018 and beyond. The annual contest sought for the best scaleups – fast growing startups ready to scale their operations – in five key areas: Digital Industry, Digital Wellbeing, Digital Cities, Digital Finance and Digital Infrastructure. The winners received a prize package worth €100,000 consisting of one year support in the EIT Digital Accelerator programme worth €50,000 and €50,000 in cash.

EIT Digital’s pan-European contest aims to identify the most promising scaleups in the field of deep technologies (deep tech), complex and disruptive solutions that are built around unique and differentiated scientific or technological advances. In total 136 scaleups from 20 EU countries applied. “We’ve set this year’s eligibility criteria very high”, says Dominik Krabbe, Lead of the EIT Digital Challenge. “The quality of the finalists and their technology solutions were impressive. We have seen excellent companies with a great potential to scale up internationally. We will be working closely together with them to accelerate their growth in 2018 and create the next European success stories.”

The five awarded teams will enter the EIT Digital Accelerator programme that comprises a team of around 40 experienced business developers and finance experts operating from 13 cities across Europe, along with a hub in Silicon Valley. Since 2012, the EIT Digital Accelerator has supported more than 260 startups to access new markets, and helped them raise more than €90 million in investment to date. Accelerator alumni companies have gone on to raise over €300 million in total investment.

The 5 deep tech scaleups to watch out for in 2018:

Digital Cities
Cleverciti provides a sensor technology that points drivers via app to free parking spots in cities, thus reducing search traffic and air pollution and improving the quality of life in cities.
