European spinouts are hockey sticking
European university spinouts are known to be an important source of innovation and value creation. But how much value exactly?
Well the combined value of over 1,200 European spinouts tracked on Dealroom has surpassed โฌ133B. That's up 2.4x since last year (albeit helped a fair bit by BioNTech).
Six of the top 10 most valuable companies were founded over 10 years ago, while over 70% of European spinouts were founded in the last decade. Value is booming, but it's only just beginning.
If the Tokyo Olympics were the most connected games ever, innovative technology is even more visible at the Paralympics, enabling the extraordinary performances and participation of the world's greatest para-athletes. And startups are also playing their part.
From prosthetics and vision impairment technology to accessible travel and event solutions, we've curated the landscape of paralympic-enabling startups for the biggest Paralympic event in history.
