How to strengthen investment cross-border ecosystems for deep-tech businesses and to overcome challenges for investors
Cross-border investment is essential for the growth and scaling of deep-tech innovation in Europe. However, startups and investors continue to face significant challenges, including fragmented regulations, limited access to funding, and weak connections between ecosystems.
Within the atTRACTION project, we have developed policy recommendations addressing these challenges and proposing practical solutions to strengthen cross-border investment ecosystems.
The recommendations focus on:
- Improving regulatory alignment
- Expanding access to funding and financial instruments
- Strengthening investor networks and confidence
- Supporting collaboration across innovation ecosystems
- Building capacity for both startups and investors
These insights are intended for policymakers, investors, business support organisations, and other stakeholders working to enhance Europe’s deep-tech landscape.
