We caught up with Massimo Portincaso, a "recovering management consultant" who co-led Boston Consulting Group's deep tech practice towards the end of his 15-years+ BCG tenure, an investor and advisor at Deepwave Ventures and now the entrepreneur behind fledgling bio-manufacturing startup Arsenale.

Massimo was also a valued part of the efforts behind EIC ScalingUp TOP50, the predecessor to the EIC Scaling Club, and serves as Chairman of the Advisory Board to Hello Tomorrow, one of the esteemed partners in this project.

Tune in to hear Massimo's critical thoughts on the European deep tech entrepreneurship and investment space, the structural issues that risk holding back the sector, and what he's building now.

About the EIC Scaling Club

The EIC Scaling Club is a curated community where 100 European deep tech scale-ups with the potential to build world-class businesses and solve major global challenges come together with investors, corporate innovators and other industry stakeholders to spur growth.

The top 100 European deep tech companies will be carefully selected from a pool of high-growth scale-ups that have benefitted from EIC financial schemes, other European and national innovation programmes, and beyond.

The EIC Scaling Club is an EIC-funded initiative run in partnership by Tech Tour, Bpifrance (EuroQuity), Hello Tomorrow, Tech.eu (Webrazzi), EurA and IESE Business School.
