The Zurich-based startup, which previously raised €3M to unify fragmented trial data, has secured a larger round to build AI agents that actively manage the complex operational layer of running a clinical trial. Clinical trials are, by almost any measure, one of the most information-intensive processes in modern medicine, and one of the least efficiently […]
Polyacrylate is the synthetic crystal at the heart of every modern disposable nappy, is derived from petroleum, and it does not break down. It persists for centuries, leaching microplastics into soil and groundwater as it degrades. The hygiene industry has long regarded it as an engineering necessity: nothing else absorbs as fast, as much, or […]
The Oslo-based DNV spinout processed over 25,000 bunker operations in 2025 and claims roughly 40% of Singapore’s digital bunkering market. Verb Ventures leads a growth round that brings total funding to $9 million. The paperwork of global shipping is notoriously stubborn. Every fuel delivery to every vessel at every port generates a chain of manual […]
The 2026 AWS Pioneers cohort spans healthcare, climate, and conflict zones, and lands alongside a stark warning that Europe risks losing its best innovators if the regulatory environment doesn’t change. Amazon Web Services announced today the second annual cohort of its Pioneers Project: twelve European companies using AI and cloud infrastructure to tackle problems that […]
Dozens of executives from European tech scaleups have backed a new venture firm built on the thesis that people who have scaled billion-dollar companies know which founders can do it again. For years, the criticism of European venture capital has been structural: too few firms willing to write large cheques, and too little operational experience […]
The startup, which plants millions of decoy assets across cloud environments to catch intruders in the act, closed its Series A led by FirstMark as enterprise security teams warm to deception as a primary detection strategy. The logic of cyber deception is almost disarmingly simple. You leave something valuable-looking in a place where it has […]
The Berlin startup, now valued at €640M, counts Revolut, N26 and Santander’s Openbank among its clients after processing more than 100 million investment orders last year. Twelve months after its last fundraise, Upvest has done it again, and at a price that suggests Europe’s appetite for investment infrastructure is still accelerating. The Berlin-based fintech announced […]
Compliance is the part of financial services that nobody likes to talk about, and nobody can afford to get wrong. For investment managers, the obligation to know your client, verify their business, and monitor them continuously has historically meant armies of analysts working through documents, running database checks, and filing reports that no one reads […]
Corporate training has a staging problem. Companies spend billions on learning management systems that employees log into once, skip half the modules, and forget about until HR sends a reminder. Blify thinks the fix is simpler than a new platform: put the training where the work already is. The Paris-based startup announced this week that […]
The Paris-based VC is targeting 15 B2B companies with revenues above €10M in clean manufacturing, sustainable agriculture, green construction, and digital health, with carry tied to impact performance for the first time. Europe has no shortage of early-stage climate tech funding. What it has historically lacked is the growth capital to take companies that have […]
