The action’s objectives are to: 1. develop a series of data-driven deep dive policy reports on key issues and challenges that the EU's start-up ecosystem is facing. These reports to be targeted at investors, start-up founders, policy makers and other stakeholders in the EU Start-up ecosystem; 2. organise events (e.g. workshops, policy debates and a summit) targeting investors; European corporates; founders and Policy makers in the EU. The events are to be focused on key themes and challenges of importance to startup ecosystems across the EU that can be addressed by smart policy initiatives.

The objective of this pilot project is to build strong links between Innovation Radar innovators, European investors, and policy makers, with a view to increasing activity and interactions between these communities. The overall goal is to stimulate greater market and societal uptake of ground-breaking innovations emerging from EU-funded research and innovation programmes (such as Horizon Europe, Digital Europe programme and LIFE). The pilot project should also, by virtue of such interactions and awareness raising, aim to mobilise more European growth capital (including the raising of new funds) that explicitly target EU-funded innovators.
