Situation of the European entrepreneurial ecosystem in TNW Conference

On the main stage of the TNW Conference the 2019 Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) with the Starting Genome was launched. Produced in partnership with the Global Entrepreneurship Network. The #GSER2019 is the world’s most comprehensive and widely read research on startups.

The GSER is based on data from thousands of startup founders and research on startups, supplemented by data from partners Crunchbase, Dealroom and Orb Intelligence. One of the GSER’s most striking statistics is that the emerging global economy is worth nearly $3 trillion, a 20 percent increase from 2017. Technology-driven start-ups not only contribute to economic growth, but in many ways are economic growth.

European Innovation Council venture in TNW Conference

TNW Conference was also the place for the presentation of the novelties of the European Innovation Council pilot programme, which was presented by Katerina Kokesova, Project Officer of the EC.

The EIC supports world-class innovators, entrepreneurs, small businesses and researchers with brilliant ideas and the ambition to expand internationally. True to this philosophy, the EIC has announced three key innovations for its pilot programme: new financing instruments; strengthened support for high-risk projects and fast-moving technologies and markets; and the integration of an Advisory Board with a clear profile of high-level experience into its governance structure.

In this sense, the EC, through the EIC, has allocated 2,000 million euros to launch two funding lines that will be the protagonists of the next Horizon Europe: Pathfinder and Accelerator. The first is oriented towards Science and the second is oriented towards the Market.
