Is Europe’s tech ecosystem reaching its long-awaited tipping point? In this episode of “European It!”, host Sébastien dissects the three forces shaping the continent’s digital future: a surge in venture capital, groundbreaking deep tech innovations, and the complex reality of EU regulation.

Join us as we explore:

• The Capital Surge: We break down over €120M in new funding for DeepTech and HealthTech and ask if it’s solving Europe’s scaling problem. (Featuring U2V, Catalpa Ventures, Mondu).
• Innovation Frontiers: From DNA-origami diagnostics to AI API security, we spotlight the European startups pushing the boundaries of science. (Featuring Amplifold, Equixly, Anaphite).

Provocative Questions Answered:

• Is Europe’s new DeepTech funding creating more competition for the same talent?
• Why aren’t VCs funding AI security more aggressively?
• How do EU climate “carveouts” paradoxically drive innovation?
