Your source for funding analyses & insight 

Welcome to this week’s Science|Business Funding Newswire


Europe is getting serious about funding its innovators. The European Investment Bank is launching a second iteration of its European Tech Champions Initiative, worth €1.25 billion.


In the Netherlands, the incoming government has said it will set up its own ‘Darpa-like’ innovation agency, following the example of Germany’s Sprind and the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency.


And Poland is looking to scale up its start-ups by launching a €1 billion fund to spur private capital investment, inspired by France’s Tibi Initiative.


Meanwhile, the EU is investing an ambitious €50 million in a project industrialising superconducting quantum devices, as it gets serious about quantum.


This week’s Funding Radar highlights funding available for SME-led collaborative cross-border innovation projects.


Finally, the Data Corner explores how much interest the EU’s Choose Europe campaign has attracted from US scientists.

Articles featured in the Funding Newswire are available for individual subscribers or members of the Science|Business Network.
