How Europe can close the financing gap for deep-tech start-ups
Europe benefits from world-class research and highly innovative founders—yet the financing of science-based technologies continues to lag behind. The new McKinsey report, “Orchestrating Europe’s deep-tech funding – A blueprint to bridge the financing gap,” outlines how Europe can bridge the “two valleys of death” in deep-tech financing and redesign the capital architecture required to scale breakthrough technologies.
Drawing on success cases from Germany, Sweden, and France, the study illustrates how investors, banks, corporates, and public funding bodies can be orchestrated—from fundamental research through industrial deployment. With the right structures in place, Europe could generate up to one trillion dollars in enterprise value by 2030.
