The European DeepTech, Life Science and BioTech scene met at VENTURE SPRIND in the 'Alte Münze', Berlin. 61 start-ups from the SPRIND portfolio presented their innovations in pitch sessions to give investors insights into potential leap innovations. The participating investors were also able to introduce themselves to the teams in reverse pitches and provide an overview of their investment focus, ticket size and value add.

Startups from various sectors pitched throughout the day, including therapeutics, broad spectrum antivirals, cell and tissue engineering, circular biomanufacturing, computing, clean tech, carbon to value, energy storage, fusion and life science.

I loved the event. The SPRIND team brought a great vibe and energy, really setting the tone for the day. The event space was very polished and professional, providing the right environment to meet investors of such a high calibre. And most of all, it was amazing to meet the people behind the 60 truly ground-breaking start-ups. It left me feeling as inspired and motivated as ever. RICK HODGSON, EMROD
