What is STARTUP3?

For the European deep-tech start-up scene to grow sustainably and achieve its potential impact, access to real market problems and test beds is required. It is our vision to build smart spaces ecosystem, a reef-like deep-tech hub-of-hubs that fosters deep-tech startups & SMEs to scale and capture new opportunities for funding and business expansion. Driven by real market needs, the STARTUP3 project builds and facilitates an open and collaborative ecosystem for high impact deep-tech innovators and corporates and acts as a cross-border/sectoral market-maker.
