The EU plans a new fund to help tech companies scale.

The European Commission plans to use EU funds to buy stakes in AI and quantum companies seeking to scale as it continues a bid to counter US dominance.

According to a draft strategy seen by POLITICO, the EU will create a new Scaleup Europe Fund next year that is privately managed and co-financed by private investors.

"In order to free up billions of euros in #funding for #tech, the EU needs to make it easier for Europe’s #pension and #insurance funds to invest in #digital #StartUps and #ScaleUps," emphasises @BChampris.

Bottlenecks of #Scaleups

A lot of #DigitalTransformation concepts seem relevant/compatible with the challenges of #ScaleUps and, I suspect, the challenges of #BigTech companies that have become operationally stale.

Pretty proud to be part of the Ocean Rainforest team as we secure funding for future growth together with investors like The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Katapult Ocean's Deep Blue fund, Builders Vision and the Ocean Born Foundation.

As Paul Dobbins, Senior Director of Impact Investing at World Wildlife Fund - US, says: “With limited environmental impacts and a low carbon footprint, seaweed absorbs CO2 and other excess nutrients from the ocean, making this fast-growing crop a climate-smart and nutritious food source,”

“But seaweed can only thrive as a climate change solution if we create a market for the many food, feed and fossil-based replacement products seaweed can provide. Ocean Rainforest is addressing the feed market and their successful capital raise shines a spotlight on this growing opportunity.”

New data shows that the prices of some of #Europe’s most successful private #tech #scaleups have fallen as much as half in the last 18 months — and some, like Sweden’s #Kry, may have even lost their #unicorn crown. https://sifted.eu/articles/valuations-mutual-fund-caplight/

Labour pledges to make Britain ‘the best place to start and grow a business’ http://ow.ly/9Mk250LYjZc
The promise comes with the conclusion of a review that makes recommendations on how Labour should encourage small business growth if the party gets into power.

Okay it's been a great hack week (literally hacking all week), but it's time now to build something else.

While the #sony #camera is doing a #timelapse (yes i know, #photography) -- I'm looking at the backlog for warp.build ...

Anyone here experiencing slow #builds / #tests that would like to have a chat and see how we can help?

Looking for #startups and #scaleups primarily.
