As startup culture and entrepreneurship spreads across the world, emerging ecosystems are gaining relevance and impacting economies and the global startup scene in a meaningful way.
Some of today's most exciting growth is happening beyond places like Silicon Valley, London or New York, but instead in emerging tech hubs across the globe. In a recent report, we touched on how some of Europe's smaller ecosystems have been amongst the fastest growing in 2022, and how much value they really generate in relation to the limit of their resources. Earlier, we wrote that Austin might very well be the US’ next hotbed for tech and reported how Pittsburgh made a name for itself as the robotics capital of the world.
In a post-pandemic world, digitization of workplaces and adoption of remote working enables organizations to look beyond tier 1 cities for growth and expansion, tier 2 cities and other emerging tech ecosystems have the opportunity to redefine what prosperous and sustainable economies look like.
Today, it's startup hubs in Western Australia, the Valencian Community in Spain, and in cities all across Finland that are taking matters into their own hands and committing to the growth and innovation of their local ecosystem through an interactive database & platform solution.
For our first Ecosystem Spotlight, we sat down with Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT) to discuss the region’s singularities, strengths and ambitions. FIT is the key point of contact for international business in Flanders, Belgium. Since 2004, this external independent agency has helped companies grow internationally, both from Flanders and in Flanders.
Europe is in an energy crisis, and things are likely going to get worse. Energy startups can play a big role in improving the current crisis and most of all work towards a future of sustainable, reliable and secure energy supply in Europe.
Energy startups in this list are working on renewable and clean energy production (solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy), energy efficiency (green buildings, heating and cooling), energy storage, green hydrogen, heat pumps and much more.
Based on Dealroom Signal, these are the startups to watch in Europe right now.
