In other news – meet Deep Tech News Europe

We’ve recently launched a new website to highlight Europe’s many deep tech successes – Deep Tech News Europe. 

Why? In recent years, the Truesix team has found itself deeply involved in Europe’s deep tech scene across various platforms, and we are enamoured. We find ourselves collaborating with top innovators working on incredibly consequential technologies from cancer therapeutics to bleeding-edge AI solutions.

It’s inspiring. 

More than that, it’s a cornerstone of Europe’s future. 

Between bloc-wide pro-startup policies, increasing investments, and the growing understanding of deep tech’s role in the union’s global competitiveness, European deep tech companies are building technologies and momentum like never before. 

So, why build a news site? 

First of all, it’s not a news site in the traditional sense. We’re not looking to break news, investigate bad apples, or become a competitor to Europe’s stellar tech journalists – our friends – whose contributions to the scene are ineffable. 

Our primary goal is to shine a light on Europe’s many deep tech successes. Especially those that may fly under the radar. We’re interested in national initiatives and local hackathons, and we want to hear insights about deep tech specifically. 

Moreover, the idea came – or rather, solidified – when TechCrunch cut its European coverage team. Soon after, another titan in TNW laid down the mantle, too, further highlighting the outsized impact non-European equity has on Europe’s startup media landscape. It’s not a pretty sight, especially when European protectionism is (understandably) on the rise. 

Transparency about finances and our clients

The project is currently treated as an internal Truesix project, namely we’re footing 100% of the cost, which involves maintaining the website and creating content. 

In cases where relevant to the deep tech community, Truesix clients may be profiled on Deep Tech News Europe. Those pieces will be flagged for transparency. No client pays for coverage on Deep Tech News Europe.

That said, we’re open to partnerships, sponsorships, and other types of collaboration from sponsored posts to display ads – you can get in touch at editorial@deeptechnews.eu. 

While this is just the beginning, we expect this format to evolve over time. We welcome writers from the European startup ecosystem to get in touch and discuss potential involvement in the platform. In time, if the platform is able to generate income, the first order of business would be to bring in external support for coverage.

‍An easy way to help us out right now is to give us a follow and like a post on LinkedIn and Bluesky. You can also join our mailing list on the website – we’re not sending newsletters out just yet, but you’ll be the first to know when we start! 

Thank you for reading this far, and here’s to a new chapter in European Deep Tech.
