Brussels, February 2025
The AcccelerAction project, a pan-European initiative focused on fostering DeepTech innovation, has successfully concluded its activities, leaving a lasting impact on the European DeepTech landscape.
Through a collaborative approach of all Consortium partners, the project has connected key stakeholders, including startups and entrepreneurs, accelerators and incubators, as well as investors and policymakers, creating a thriving ecosystem that supports the development of cutting-edge technologies.
“The AccelerAction project has been a real catalyst for transformative collaborations, uniting a spectrum of DeepTech stakeholders across Europe.”, says Nadja Dokter, AccelerAction Project Coordinator.
One of the key achievements of AccelerAction is the establishment of DeepTech ACT, a virtual platform designed to connect and facilitate matchmaking between diverse DeepTech players. The platform has attracted a vibrant community of users, providing a valuable resource for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.
“DeepTech ACT is one of the cornerstones of our efforts to enhance connectivity and spur innovation throughout Europe. This virtual ecosystem fosters learning, sharing, and networking, creating vital links among DeepTech players across Europe and beyond. By aiming to reduce fragmentation, it boosts our collective capacity to drive innovation.”, Nadja explains.
Throughout its duration, AccelerAction has organised a series of online events, as DeepTech Talks, Collab events and DeepTech ACT webinars, providing networking opportunities and valuable industry insights to DeepTech players. AccelerAction organised Grow experience, a three month long in-person exchange between DeepTech startups. The project has also developed a range of resources, including best practice guides, policy recommendations, and educational materials, which are freely available to the DeepTech community.
The success of AccelerAction is a testament to the power of collaborative partnerships in driving innovation. By bringing together a diverse consortium of partners with complementary expertise, the project has achieved significant impact and contributed to the advancement of the European DeepTech sector.
