In the midst of geopolitical tensions and volatile markets, the issue of Europe’s ability to overcome the upcoming storms, especially since President Trump appears to be determined to obtain a pound of customs tariffs from the continent.
But a broad new report claims that super technology is ready to become a major column for future security, defense and independence in Europe, especially from the United States
Deeptech attracted 15 billion euros ($ 16.3 billion) in investments in 2024, according to a report from 184 pages of Lakestar, Walden Catalyst, Dealroom project and Deeptech, Hello tomorrow. The report also found that nearly a third of all investment capital in Europe will now do deep technology.
The report said that the integration and purchase activity in the area increased to $ 12.2 billion last year, but it also found that startups in the field of deep European technology still depend on the United States. Moreover, 50 % of the growth capital raised by Deeptech Startups comes from outside the continent.
However, Teeptech can also be considered a hedge against normal “investment” between investment capital.
The author of the report, Lucas Litner, an investor in the field of deep technology in Luxar, told Techcrunch that although geopolitical tensions constitute great challenges, Europe needs to embrace the moment, and TEPTECH may be the key that opens future flexibility in the continent.
However, the road forward is not without challenges. Littner pointed out that the United States has a “effect of budget web” on deep technology while the ecosystem in Europe is still immature. “We have a budget wheel in the” shallow “technical scene. You see many founders for the second time, getting out of the revolution, etc., building wonderful companies. But not yet from deep technology companies.”
He added: “Europe has strong research institutions, engineering talent and general feelings that support information technology, but there are need changes in politics to enhance a culture that supports risk.”
Arnaud de La Tour, CEO of Hello Tomorrow, said the idea that poor Europe will always fall behind artificial intelligence. […] Many are looking to return to Europe because of the geopolitical scene. But we definitely need the right policy framework to open the type of capabilities we have. “
Leitner pointed out that Europe’s relative weakness in computing power is corresponding to its strengths in optical computing, which provides great advantages in speed and efficiency. He said: “We are really good in Europe with optical, because we have good laser systems, and we have a good basic research on the optical side.”
De L -Tor added that Europe can also benefit from the outbreak of the brain in the United States, as the flag has been incorporated by the Trump administration. “The National Science Corporation, which is the largest supporter of the research that was applied to the founder in the United States has reduced its budget by half. He said,” Many of these great scientists no longer have a job, and many can come to Europe. “
