?????? NEW REPORT: Accelerating Europe: The State of European Innovation and Why It Matters. The opportunity in Europe right now is unprecedented. Europe’s scaleup potential has never been greater. But the right conditions are crucial. What Europe does next matters. This report, in partnership with Dealflow.eu, examines four crucial dimensions: ? Unpacking Europe’s GDP gap with the US ? Big tech's impact ? Europe's VC ecosystem - the strengths and gaps ? Pathways to unlocking European growth, with insights from the Draghi report This research provides context, fresh perspectives, and empirical evidence to enrich the ongoing conversation about Europe's tech future.

It's vital that we close the scale-up investment gap that catches so many deeptech startups out, which is why the new Cambridge Innovation Capital 'Opportunity Fund' is so important! See what our co-founder, Sam Goodall, has to say about it in this article from Impact Loop

Big announcement — Sirona Technologies and Cella have officially launched Project Jacaranda, their pilot plant in Kenya ?????? As you all know, climate change is the biggest problem of our era, and removing CO? from the air at a massive scale and storing it permanently is a crucial part of the solution. When CO? is emitted, the wind mixes it up in the atmosphere. That means it quickly spreads everywhere, but it also mean means we can capture it anywhere in the world. And as it turns out, Kenya provides the ideal setting for this technology. There is an abundance of renewable energy, the right rock formations for safe and permanent CO? storage, and people looking for green growth. To make the most of this opportunity, we joined forces to launch Project Jacaranda: ?? Sirona Technologies removes CO? from the air using Direct Air Capture. ?? Cella injects the CO? underground, where it mineralizes for permanent storage. ?? EDF provides renewable solar energy to power our machines. This launch marks a huge milestone for all companies.?It makes Sirona Technologies the fastest DAC company in the world to deploy a pilot plant on site, while Cella is now on track to become the third company in the world to mineralize CO? underground, and the first in Africa. The next step is to scale up. By adding more machines and expanding operations, we aim to capture and permanently store hundreds of millions of tons of CO? per year.

?? We're looking for folks to join our campaign calling on the Government to commit to the future of the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio. ??The NZIP has invested over ￡200m in ClimateTech innovation in the UK over the last four years, with an estimated 2.4x return on private investment even in this short period. It's catalysed growth, job creation and decarbonisation. It must be renewed. ?? Under the Comprehensive Spending Review, there is a chance that NZIP could be slimmed down, or even on the chopping block. ?? We'd love for NZIP 2.0 to invest more in startups (obvs) because they are decarbonising our economy right here, right now, and because they can be a source of long term, clean growth. ?? We've already got more than 100 ClimateTech founders and leaders signed on to an open letter and would love you to join. Drop me a line or a comment below and I'll send it over.

Europe matches US in unicorn efficiency ?????? European startups produce billion-dollar companies at the same rate as US ones when measured per dollar invested. Same output for the same input - just less attention.

A worrying two-thirds of the earth’s surface experienced record heat in 2024 according to analysis of satellite data from The Guardian. What’s clear is that no matter where in the world you live, and whether looking at land or sea, records were smashed for average monthly temperatures. ? It’s a reminder that this is very much a global issue and although our SuperCluster is based in Europe, the work we’re facilitating can have a significant impact across the whole planet. https://lnkd.in/gt-DDnmh ? #climate #climateemergency #climatetech
