Bridging the gap: - Mapping investors to strengthen Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

The latest study by the European Patent Office (EPO) maps specialised technology investors and introduces a novel metric to help startups identify them. A new filter in the Deep Tech Finder tool also makes it easier to search for these investors. 
The EPO’s Observatory on Patents and Technology has published a new study identifying the investors that are vital to the successful commercialisation of cutting-edge innovations. The study – Mapping investors for European innovators – discusses the challenges that tech startups face in securing public and private funding both in Europe and, by way of comparison, in the US.
