Startup Europe for growth H2020 Projects (ICT33)
Scaleup4Europe’s objective is the establishment of four cross-border operating “Scaleup Labs”. The Scaleup Labs are based on the ”living lab” concept and support qualifying scaleups in achieving “Proof of Scalability”. The project partners propose to set up a Scaleup Lab in each ecosystem for a specific industry vertical that benefit significantly from Deep Tech (Smart Region, Health Sciences, Agile Manufacturing, AgTech). The Scaleup Labs will provide deep tech start-ups with a structured open innovation approach in which they can achieve cross-border market success, through first successful collaborations with corporate customers, investors and/or public institutions.

STARTUP3 aims at connecting the European deep-tech innovation players (UPTAKE) to facilitate the go-to-market of high value disruptive solutions. In this sense, the project consists in an acceleration programme based on three selection phases (UPGRADE). From the 25 winners of the STARTUP3 Open Call, 10 promising startups have been selected to enter the 2nd acceleration phase that started in October 2020. The final goal is the startup-coporate/investor matchmaking that will be operated in the final phase of the programme (UPSCALE).
That’s why in parallel are being involved corporations, investors, RTOs, and other startup support organisations, in the mentoring and B2B activities, to generate business opportunities and help the startups adapt their technologies to the market reality.
The STARTUP3 startups are playing in various technology sectors such as AI, IoT, robotics, earth Observation, cybersecurity, biotech, and in industry sectors such as agritech/foodtech, healthcare, retail, and newspace.

European Startups is a two-year project aimed at facilitating informed conversation and collaboration among European tech ecosystem stakeholders to take Europe’s startup economy to the next level. At the centre of the joint venture, is the European Startups database, a definitive platform providing macro-level trends and trusted insights for data-driven policymaking, complemented with investment-grade research and inclusive events. Taking Europe’s startup ecosystem to the next level requires a clearer vision about European entrepreneurship and an informed two-way discussion between the private sector and policymakers.
