Key recommendations:

• Increase startup allocation in FP10
• Consolidate support pathways
• Scale up EU startup summits
• Enhance platforms like Dealflow

Horizon Europe, the world's largest public innovation funding programme at €95B, is powering these companies forward.

But the data shows it's just scratching the surface.
March 5, 2025 at 12:58 PM
80% of these startups are developing physical technologies in strategic sectors like Climate Tech, Deep Tech, AI, Biotech, and Space—areas crucial for Europe's future competitiveness.
March 5, 2025 at 12:58 PM
From the €12B in EU funding that went to startups, a combined enterprise value of €520B was created.
March 5, 2025 at 12:58 PM
EU Framework Programme grants and direct equity support for startups has totalled €12B since 2007.

Yet this represents only 5% of the EU research & innovation budget.

Due to the transparency of startup activity, the results are highly trackable…

The difference between Europe and the US is scale, not efficiency.

When looking at the amount raised, the rate of unicorn creation is actually pretty similar.

Europe represents a significant share of startup value, for earlier stage companies.

But startup ecosystems are dictated by the power law. Only 0.01% of companies reach a valuation of $1 trillion, and those (US) companies represent 34% of all venture-backed enterprise value.
February 27, 2025 at 9:13 AM
The US is the global HQ of startups & VC, and there is unsurprisingly a significant difference in the amount of VC raised in the US and Europe.

Broken down by funding stage though, the differences are particularly stark.

Later stage startups in the US are raising 567% more capital than in Europe.
February 27, 2025 at 9:13 AM
Venture-backed companies compound.

The Magnificent 7 invested a total of $49B in startups in 2024 alone, not via acquisitions, as venture capital.

That’s more than all VC into China or the EU27.

An extra venture ecosystem for free.
February 27, 2025 at 9:13 AM
It’s a fact that venture-backed businesses are a major job creation engine.

In the US almost *a quarter* of all jobs are at VC backed companies.

In Europe it’s under 2%.

💵 Unpacking Europe’s GDP gap with the US

An $11 trillion nominal GDP gap between Europe and the US has been widely shared.

But taking a closer look it’s not as clear cut.

Currency exchange rate and national debt are major factors, though productivity is a meaningful challenge.
