Startupbootcamp has announced the 10 startups that will participate in the first cycle of its DeepTech & Robotics Accelerator.

Startupbootcamp, Europe’s leading accelerator (Financial Times, 2024), has announced the 10 startups that will participate in the first cycle of its DeepTech & Robotics Accelerator. The accelerator, running from the Dutch HQ in Amsterdam, is a key part of Startupbootcamp's focus on fostering innovation in the rapidly evolving fields of deep technology and robotics.

The DeepTech & Robotics Accelerator aims to support solutions that leverage cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize industries and create new business models. With a focus on scaling impactful technologies, the program will address challenges such as autonomous mobility, Edge AI & Machine Learning, Nanotechnology, and the development of advanced robotics applications, driving innovation within these critical domains.

This accelerator reflects Startupbootcamp’s commitment and mission to support 100,000 startups and transformative technologies to help reach the UN’s SDGs in time. This program not only aims to foster innovations at the forefront of the DeepTech and Robotics domain, but also to support startups in developing sustainable business practices that align with global digital transformation trends.

From over 3,000 applications, only 20 startup teams were shortlisted to participate in the Selection Day. These teams presented their concepts to a curated panel of investors, industry leaders, mentors, partners, and the Startupbootcamp team.
