We hope all is well, and that you're enjoying a productive April so far!
This is the first newsletter after the EIC Scaling Club's official kick-off, so you'll find more information about the first cohort of 48 European deep tech scale-ups joining our network, an impression from our first event (the Ignition Forum in Belgium), and much more.
You can find some photos from the two-day event here.
The companies were carefully selected based on a number of criteria, and fall within four predefined market sector opportunities: Next-Gen Computing, Digital Security & Trust, Smart Mobility and Renewable Energies.
They have now joined our curated community of standout deep tech companies, investors, corporate innovators, mentors, media firms and other industry stakeholders.
This initial cohort of scale-ups stands to benefit from our wide range of services, and we're looking forward to working with them in the future!
