Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

DeepTech4Good (scale eup2) was a pionneering project focused on accelerating deep tech start-ups especially the ones mixing digital innovation linked with innovation embedded in hardwares.
The goal was to drag light and interest toward deep tech and accelerate deep tech potential unicorns through a better access to European markets.
4 B2B markets were targeted: health, industry 4.0 mobility and smart cities.
The project gathered 4 hubs: Austria, Bade-Wurtenberg, Catalonia, and Paris Region.

Prior to accelerating start-ups there were 2 objectives:
- getting interest to deep tech and its specificities
- selecting the start-ups.

Acculturing stakeholders was reached through a venture funds committee and through the participation of large events to discover use cases and ventures around challenges and pitching sessions.
The 4 Deep Tech 4 Good events

Selecting the start-ups was realized through contests adverstised on F6S and then enlarged to more start-ups.

The key objectives of the project, in supporting start-up acceleration, are:

1) Validating market strategy and tuning it with financial strategy
2) Reinforcing market leads by opening doors in hubs and in Europe - through direct contact, challenges and portfolio approach
3) Attracting private and public finance: getting funds both private and public to fuel the ventures

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

"The project set-up a dynamic of growth around 200 deep tech start-ups.
This massive number helped us to get funds to better understand the specifities of these ventures in which they were partly reluctant to invest at the beginning of the project.
The program thus as a pionnering program encouraged the use of the word ""deep tech"" and advertised through 4 events - on in each hub.
A dynamic was created around the 200 start-ups portfolio:
- investors' day in Paris
- collecting challenges to access market and obtain specifications for needs from major players
- job ads trough linkedin
This encouraged the search for public funded innovation projects and for more visibility (like events in Deep Tech week)
As necessary, we coached and review strategy especially when dealing with public funded innovation projects
32 start-ups got custom made acceleration."

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

The KPIs of the projects were:
to create a dynamic around 200 start-ups portfolio. Our portfolio was 198 scale-ups
to lead to 30 successful fund raising. 53 raised funds with an average of about 2000 k€ raised.
to get ideas for 6 public funded projects and get 3 financed. 80+ were deposited and about 50 financed
to lead to 40 partnerships with major players - 100 partnerships were obtained especially through public funded projects.
