Written by EIC Scaling Club | Jan 18, 2024 8:30:42 PM

Tech Tour, one of the core partners in the EIC Scaling Club, has announced the 2024 edition of the 'Tech Tour Growth50' list, shining a light on European tech companies with a substantial potential for fast growth in a number of sectors. 

The list includes pioneering AI companies like Aleph Alpha and Mistral, quantum computing leaders like PASQAL and IQM, space tech innovators such as ClearSpace, Isar Aerospace and D-Orbit, health tech scale-ups like Sidekick Health and Kaia Health, and many more.

Close to 100 investors on Tech Tour's Selection Panel first nominated and then voted to compose the list. 

On average, these companies have raised just south of €134 million each, and in total around €6.7 billion to date. Most of the scale-ups hail from the big European startup economies - the UK, Germany and France, in that order - but Finland and Switzerland also make a good showing.

More data and insights can be found in this Infogram.

The selected companies will convene in Paris at the Tech Tour Growth50 Europe Summit on 8 February 2024, co-hosted by (another EIC Scaling Club partner) EuroQuity Bpifrance and in conjunction with Bryan, Garnier & Co, Jolt Capital, Silverpeak, Euronext and the EIC Scaling Club proper.

The Award winners will be announced over dinner.
