The EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy aims to make Europe the best place in the world to launch and grow global technology-driven companies, including deep tech companies.
It focuses on helping innovators, founders and investors to Choose Europe! by improving the conditions for startups and scaleups, enabling them to capitalise on new geopolitical opportunities and reducing the reasons to relocate outside the EU. This is crucial for strategic technologies, such as for example artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, advanced semiconductors, medical technology, biotechnology, bioeconomy applications, clean tech and energy (including nuclear technology), water and blue tech, security, defence, space, robotics and advanced materials.
Building on the Commission’s Single Market Strategy and other efforts to improve the business environment, the strategy focuses on enhancing access to Europe’s internal market, which has huge potential to drive innovation and keep European companies competitive
globally. It allows startups and scaleups to grow and reach the scale needed to compete effectively.
