We’re delighted to announce that we are one of Deeptech Labs’ Spring 2022 cohort.
Founded in 2020 by ARM, Cambridge Innovation Capital, Martlet Capital, Ewan Kirk and the University of Cambridge, Deeptech Labs is an accelerator programme and VC fund. The accelerator supports deeptech companies like us to move from prototype and proof of concept to scalable products and services, through a specially-designed thirteen week accelerator programme.
iKVA was chosen from 1910 companies to secure one of the six places on the accelerator programme, and has since been connecting with a global network of more than 50 world-leading deeptech entrepreneurs, technology experts and investors.
The culmination of the programme was the Virtual demo Day where we presented our solutions to VCs and other businesses.
Miles Kirby, CEO Deeptech Labs said, “Europe has a number of global advantages in deeptech – we have 50% of the world’s best universities and the highest number of highly cited research papers – but there’s a disparity when it comes to European investment in deeptech companies. European deeptech companies attract $33 billion compared to $144 billion in the US.
Thanks to our deeptech-specific accelerator programme, our cohort companies are stronger, more resilient and have highly focused go-to-market strategies and that’s why so many investors attend our Demo Days – and how we are helping to fix the European deeptech investment gap.”
