Using the Sifted database and Dealroom, our Intelligence team has compiled a list of Europe's top 100 deeptech startups and scaleups to watch in 2023. The following methodology was used to identify the most promising ventures within the European deeptech sector.
Criteria for selection: European HQ; launched from 2015 onwards; raised $30m+ in funding; maximum valuation of $999m (i.e. excl. unicorns); private and independent (i.e. not acquired).
Companies were then evaluated by the strength of their management team and investors; market opportunity and competition; and, the quality of their product and technology, marketing and distribution channels, and strategic partnerships.
