Europe produces world-class scientific research from its top universities, yet struggles to convert breakthroughs into global companies, leaving many innovations trapped in labs. U2V, short for University2Ventures, addresses this through its newly closed €60 million Fund I, which targets pre-seed and seed-stage deeptech spin-offs in AI, novel computing, industrial tech, and cleantech.
The Berlin-based firm plans up to 25 investments to bridge academia and industry, fostering Europe’s technological sovereignty through capital, corporate partnerships, and go-to-market acceleration.
