Description
Financing is no longer enough. In deeptech, capital is a necessary condition, but never a sufficient one. Faced with long development cycles, high technological risk, and strategic industrial stakes, investors must evolve into true operational partners.
How can startups be supported beyond the cheque? From industrial structuring and governance to corporate market access, international expansion, and the blending of public and private financing, this session explores how deeptech investors actively contribute to building European champions capable of scaling globally.
