European Startups - what does it take?

For everyone connected to the numerous emerging startup ecosystems in Europe, the current crisis raises existential questions - what will it take to survive?

Will young businesses be able to navigate the range of government support initiatives in time to stay afloat?

Will startups be able to adapt their business models to create new products or services relevant to the present environment?

Entirely new categories are likely to emerge from the crisis, fundamentally changing the way we engage both digitally and in the physical world - what will they be?

This week we launched the European Startups initiative, a two-year joint venture between Sifted and Dealroom, supported by the European Commission.

We addressed some of these questions in the initiative's launch report, along with a wider assessment of the general health of Europe's tech ecosystems.

Based on the research a third of tech companies were found to be vulnerable to the current crisis, whilst a fifth stand to benefit - see below for the full categorisation and sector breakdown.
