Morning all, this week we focus on two of the fastest-moving startup segments. π
π± The Impact & Innovation ecosystem database
This week we were very excited to launch our new Impact & Innovation platform at ImpactFest, in in partnership with ImpactCity, Tech Nation and Danske Bank.
The open-access Impact ecosystem database catalogues 5,000+ startups and scaleups, 7,472 funding rounds, and 232 exits of innovative companies addressing the worldβs most pressing challenges.
Impact entrepreneurship and investment is going mainstream. A report to mark the launch shows global Impact VC investment is set to hit β¬19B this year, with 33 deals passing the β¬100M mark, and Impact now makes up 15% of Europe VC funding.
Join a community of Impact-interested founders, VCs, researchers and policy-makers, and explore data visualisations, curated searches and other fast, intuitive tools to navigate the global Impact landscape.
Industrial Tech makes up just 3% of European VC funding, but industrial sectors account for 30% of global GDP. Industrial Tech funding has been growing at nearly 3x the rate of overall VC investment, but is it still underfunded?
Our new report with Speedinvest explores a staggeringly innovative ecosystem, quietly coming of age.
