Startup Europe Success Stories

In order to help build a strong European ecosystem where startups can thrive, Startup Europe & Innovation Radar under Horizon 2020 programme funded nine projects.

The Startup Europe projects provided acceleration services to 770 selected startups covering 39 countries.

The Innovation Radar detected high potential innovators in the R&I programme and provided go-to-market support to over 500 innovators who subsequently went on to raise over EUR 600 million of growth finance.

An investment support programme targeted relevant VCs and investment-ready startups for the Artificial Intelligence/Blockchain equity fund scheme under InvestEU.

The European Startups project communicated with the ecosystem based on data-driven knowledge and trends about startups and scaleups across Europe.

As these projects are coming to the end, we are pleased to highlight their achievements.
