?? The 2025 European Deep Tech Report is here! ???? Europe’s Deep Tech sector is proving to be a stabilizing force in an increasingly volatile global landscape. In 2024 alone, Deep Tech attracted €15bn in investment, now making up nearly one-third of all venture capital. The rise of AI, Energy Tech, and Space Innovation underscores Europe’s potential to lead the next wave of technological breakthroughs. Key findings from the report: ?? Resilience in investment: While traditional tech funding fell 60% since 2021, Deep Tech remained strong. ?? AI & Energy growth: AI investments doubled to €3bn, while Energy Tech surged 70% to €1.1bn. ?? Funding gaps remain: Half of Europe’s growth capital still comes from outside the continent—time to build stronger local investment ecosystems. ?? Strategic exits needed: With major acquisitions by US firms, Europe must foster homegrown exit strategies. ?? Deep Tech isn’t just about innovation—it’s about securing Europe’s economic security, technological sovereignty, and competitive edge. Now is the time for bold action from investors, policymakers, and industry leaders. #DeepTech #Investment #Europe #Innovation #AI #VentureCapital #TechLeadership with: Hello Tomorrow Dealroom.co Lakestar Lukas Leitner Nicolas Autret Young Sohn Yoram Wijngaarde Steven Jacobs Arnaud de la Tour Orla Browne

Great article by Yoav Shoham in Fortune: Generative AI has seen the fastest adoption of any technology in history—yet only 6% of enterprise GenAI projects make it to production. Why? The answer lies in the nature of LLMs: powerful but inherently unreliable. For enterprises, where precision and control are non-negotiable, “prompt and pray” simply doesn’t cut it. The future isn’t just bigger models—it’s AI systems that combine LLMs with real-time data, reasoning tools, and human oversight. In 2025, we’ll see a shift from sporadic AI deployment to mass adoption, unlocking massive enterprise value. We’re entering the third phase of the AI revolution. #GenerativeAI #EnterpriseAI #Innovation AI21 Labs

?? The Future of Robotics is Here – And We're All In with Ati Motors! We are living in a golden age of robotics, where technological breakthroughs and real-world challenges are converging to create unprecedented opportunities. From AI-powered computer vision to advanced route planning, autonomous systems have transitioned from concept to reality—becoming economically viable, human-safe, and highly reliable. While humanoid robots and generative AI get much of the spotlight, we see the immediate future in purpose-built solutions solving real industrial problems. In manufacturing alone, over 600,000 unfilled positions in the U.S. highlight the urgent need for automation. This is where Ati comes in. Today, we are thrilled to announce our lead investment in Ati’s $20 million Series B funding round. Ati’s AI-powered robotics workforce platform is already reshaping industrial automation. With hundreds of Sherpa AMRs deployed across 40 global manufacturers like Forvia and Hyundai, Ati is redefining how materials move through factories—faster, smarter, and more reliably. ?? What sets Ati apart? - Purpose-built technology: Their proprietary AI, hardware, and software stack is designed to thrive in real-world, harsh industrial environments—think extreme heat, dust, and even monsoons. - Proven impact: Ati’s AMRs integrate deeply with ERP systems, enabling just-in-time delivery, reduced inventory costs, and accelerated production cycles. - Global momentum: With operations in the U.S., Mexico, India, Southeast Asia, and a growing Detroit HQ, Ati is driving global adoption of its transformative solutions. The manufacturing industry is at a tipping point. Legacy systems like manually operated vehicles and outdated AGVs are being replaced by truly autonomous and adaptive AMRs like Ati’s Sherpa robots. The drivers for adoption are clear: labor shortages, the demand for data-driven workflows, and the race toward Industry 4.0 and “lights-out” factories. At Walden Catalyst Ventures, we believe Ati is uniquely positioned to lead this next wave of industrial innovation. Their commitment to building scalable, robust, and transformative solutions is paving the way for a smarter, more automated future. We’re proud to partner with Ati on this journey and look forward to supporting their global growth. Here’s to the future of industrial automation! ?? with: Saurabh Chandra Shankar Chandran Young Sohn Lip-Bu Tan Nicolas Autret Francis Ho Roni Hefetz Andy Kau Victoria Slivkoff NGP Capital True Ventures
