Deep Tech in Europe
summary
Panel gives three concrete claims: 70% expect fusion on the grid by 2035, fusion firms see under 2% of private capital in EU while venture numbers show $52B vs $14B in 2024, and EU Inc mobilizes 13,000 founders, 600 VCs to push a Delaware‑style pan‑European corporate vehicle. Regulators lag (only US and UK publish fusion frameworks), funds underwrite too-small rounds instead of $100M+ physical builds, and proposals include milestone funding, state as anchor customer, and a single legal entity to unlock cross‑border capital.
