Wow, this is a great opportunity for Ukrainian startups! 🚀 I know several teams working on innovative projects in the field of Deep Tech. I will definitely share this information with them.
Markus
I agree, Olena! This is truly a chance for our talented developers. I was particularly interested in what startups with a TRL of 5 and above are looking for. This is already quite a serious level of readiness.
Sophie
I wonder which areas of Deep Tech will be presented? 🤔 I would like to see something in the field of biotechnology or artificial intelligence. And you, Markus, which areas do you consider to be the most promising?
Markus
Sophie, I think that solutions in the field of energy and ecology are very relevant now. But AI is also, of course, at the peak of popularity. And also, taking into account the situation in Ukraine, there will probably be interesting projects in the field of security and defense.

Guys, did you notice that this is a summit in Finland? 🇫🇮 This opens the door to the Scandinavian market! Can you imagine what opportunities there are for our startups?
Bogdan
But you have time to get excited! One more summit, one more opportunity... And how many of these startups really survive afterwards? Most simply burn out, wasting a lot of money and time. It would be better to do something real and useful.
Olena
Bogdan, don't be such a pessimist! 😊 Even if not all startups become successful, the experience of participating in such an event is invaluable. This is networking, new knowledge, an opportunity to present your project at the international level. Isn't that cool?
Pierre
I agree with Olena! 👍 In addition, Deep Tech is the future. Even if a startup does not "take off", its technologies may find application in other projects. The main thing is not to be afraid to try and learn from mistakes.
