Race against time

work in progress

• AI + Policy. Estonian Pactum AI discussing with EVP of the European Commission, Margrethe Vestager. Kamala Harris meets Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs to discuss AI policy. Meantime in Lithuania - busy searching for a regional politician who did not take extra euros by faking expenses.
• Life Sciences. Innovation Agency introduces LT deeptech for Sifted audience. One of them - digital therapeutics startup dHealthIQ is fundraising. Sentante has developed the first fully-robotic teleoperated system for endovascular interventions. Now to take some serious lead as Life Sciences ecosystem, it will take serious effort - places like Basel have major accumulated advantages.

• Product recognition - some teams which try harder. Turing College has became an EU Accredited college offering Data Science & Analytics Masters degree. LupaSearch team is being nominated for the Best Search Software Tool at the European Search Awards 2023. Euroleague Basketball will collaborate with the Lithuanian app #Walk15, organizing Final Four Walking Challenge.
• Climate+Energy+Transport. Swedish Pale Blue Dot announced a second fund - same strategy, team and size ($100m). Estonian Beamline Accelerator is live (apply before end of month), with EUR 60k+ tickets. In the meantime, Elinta Motors is wrapping up its team to ship to an event in Germany. Altas Auto boosts revenue by 55%, largely driven by electric bus orders. Solar ain't cooling down - Inion Software grows, aiming EUR 800k revenue and soon move to fancy offices that only PVcase today can afford.
