A big thanks to Fast Company for publishing my essay: https://lnkd.in/dBNKRuSd I like to look at history when thinking about the future, and turns out this same level of societal fear happened at the start of the Industrial Revolution. People were publishing similar sentiments about machines and how they will kill jobs, but humans are quite good at adapting, The key is to think about long-term #transformation over short-term #elimination. Flash forward to the future – how do you think we’ll look back on this period of #AI transformation? #venturecapital #artificialintelligence #deeptech

Really great to see two of the most important institutional investors, European Investment Fund (EIF) and NATO Innovation Fund (NIF) teaming up to strengthen the #dual-use focus of the #tech ecosystem. Congratulations to Marjut Falkstedt and Andrea Traversone not only for signing the MoU but also for organizing an important event with key stakeholders to: • Raise awareness of dual-use applications • Exchange information on initiatives to promote them • Make them even more attractive for private funding Happy to see European Investment Bank (EIB) taking an important step forward and removing the “50%” requirement from the “50% of credible civil use” definition in dual-use vs. defense. Finally, my takeaways from today’s panels are: 1. There needs to be more governmental procurement from European #deeptech #startups. Fear must be replaced with a long-term vision. 2. We all need to be proud of supporting #European tech - we have great talent here that we should all invest in. #EIF #EIB #NATO #NIF #EIC #EU

We kick off this week by being named one of the leading #DualUse funders outside of the US by TechCrunch 🙌 #Dual-use technology – tech used in both civilian and defense applications – is on the rise as the search for #innovation to make democratic societies less vulnerable to attacks increases rapidly. Part of this development is driven by the mission and investments of the NATO Innovation Fund (NIF) I, which is not only making direct investments but also backing #DeepTech funds, including OTB Ventures. Our Co-Founder, Marcin Hejka, asserts that it is a no-brainer that increasingly more startups are tapping into dual-use technologies, commenting: “It’s absolutely natural that the defense sector is applying more and more technologies with civilian roots.” 👉 Learn more about the development of dual-use technology in this TechCrunch article by Anna Heim: https://t.ly/inOx8

🛰 Go, VanZyl-1, go! 🚀 We, at Hydrosat, are incredibly proud to announce the upcoming launch of our first satellite, VanZyl-1, early July on SpaceX’s Transporter 11, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Working to accelerate the delivery of global high-resolution thermal imaging technology and provide a critical daily dataset to further enhance agricultural and climate models, the satellite will include high-resolution thermal imagery and insights spanning the entire earth - including land and water for the first time. 🌍 Named after one of our co-founders, Jakob van Zyl, who sadly passed away in 2020, the satellite follows in Jakob’s footsteps to better understand global water stress, particularly in agriculture, which is often caused by drought and insufficient irrigation.

Yesterday’s panel at Nexus2050 Luxembourg, featuring industry leaders, provided valuable insights into the current state and prospects of DeepTech investment in #Europe. 🔹 Growing Interest in #DeepTech: There is a notable surge in interest in DeepTech investments. As innovation accelerates, investors are increasingly recognizing the potential of DeepTech, especially in sectors like #SpaceTech and other hardware-intensive industries. 🔹 Increasing Investment Rounds: DeepTech is forming a larger portion of #investment rounds. This trend is a positive contrast to broader tech sectors like enterprise software, which are seeing lower investment levels compared to pre-COVID times. 🔹 Post-COVID Boom: The post-COVID era has marked a pivotal point for DeepTech, with heightened investor confidence and substantial funding flowing into groundbreaking technologies that promise to reshape our future. The panel featured insightful contributions from: 🔸 Adam Niewinski, Co-founder and Managing Partner, OTB Ventures 🔸 David Shrier, Futurist, Innovation Catalyst, and VC, Visionary Future LLC 🔸 David DANA🎗️, Head of VC Investments, Disruptive Tech & Innovation, European Investment Fund (EIF) 🔸 Pierre Festal, Partner, Promus Ventures The discussion was expertly moderated by: 🔸 David Ford, Partner, Corporate Advisor, and Engineer, Silverpeak 👉 more about Nexus2050 Luxembourg https://www.nexus2050.com/ #Nexus2050 #DeepTech #Investments

Congratulations to NATO Innovation Fund (NIF) on announcing their first investments 🌍 We are proud to be one of the first #European funds backed by #NATO Innovation Fund. We look forward to years of collaboration in supporting #DeepTech ecosystem.
Nearly one year ago, we closed on our inaugural €1 billion fund. Today, we are delighted to share our first investments in innovative technologies developed in countries across the NATO Alliance. These investments - across AI, space tech, manufacturing, transportation and robotics - mark our first steps towards advancing defence, security and resilience. We’re proud to be supporting ambitious founders, who are developing cutting-edge solutions to some of the world’s most critical challenges: 🚀 Space Forge is pushing the boundaries of manufacturing by using the conditions in space to make materials, while ensuring that supply chains for Europe’s critical infrastructure are protected. 🛫 iCOMAT is revolutionising the trillion-dollar transportation industry, from air to ground to space, making travel more energy efficient, faster and cheaper through the manufacturing of lightweight materials. 🤖 ARX Robotics is deploying robotic systems to enhance the protection and training of armed forces, and can help improve the security and efficiency of critical infrastructure. 💻 Fractile is developing fundamental computing technology that will enhance collective AI capabilities by enabling Large Language Models to run faster, more efficiently and sustainably. We’re also delighted to support a diverse group of fund managers, including: - Alpine Space Ventures, an early-stage fund bringing over 50 years of space industry expertise to empower select startups to deliver key space-enabled capabilities. - OTB Ventures, an early growth fund originating from Central Europe, investing in spacetech, enterprise automation & AI, cybersecurity, and fintech infrastructure. - JOIN CAPITAL, a Berlin-based early stage venture capital focused on deep tech investments across industrial and enterprise tech. - Vsquared Ventures, which invests in early stage deep tech companies, whose groundbreaking technologies can address some of society’s most pressing challenges across AI & next-gen software, energy transition, new computing and sensing, new space, robotics and manufacturing, and tech-bio. Being at the forefront of technological innovation is key to building a safe and prosperous future for the Alliance’s citizens. We look forward to seeing what our portfolio companies achieve, and how they will contribute to this mission. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eNxe2Gix #deeptech #startups
