Coming up with an idea for a startup and realising it to reach the status of a scaleup takes meticulous planning and execution. Additionally, deep tech scaleups face their own set of unique challenges, since they are working on a differentiating product offering that leverages sophisticated, hard-to-reproduce digital technologies.

The EIT Digital Challenge 2019 competition organised every year by the leading European accelerator identifies such deep tech innovative scaleups. These exceptional tech scaleups are aimed at bringing about a digital transformation in Europe and EIT Digital promises to provide them with a stable platform to grow and also win prizes worth €750,000, along with a full year of support by the accelerator.

The 25 deep tech finalists of 2019

This year’s top 25 scaleups that made the cut and are moving on to the EIT Digital Challenge finals have been announced. They come from 12 EU countries and are working on services that range from measuring blood sugar levels without finger pricking, to a radiofrequency drone detection technology and a platform that delivers information about mobility behaviour through smartphone sensors.

The finalists were chosen from 279 applicants and on an average, they reached a revenue of €930k in 2018, received €3.9M in funding and employ 32 people. Two scaleups from the Netherlands have also been selected, which are ReaQta, and Wonderflow.

ReaQta offers a platform that is capable of detecting new and previously unknown threats in the cyberspace. These threats range from simple ransomwares to more sophisticated non-malware attacks. The company uses NanoOS that is paired with an AI engine to detect, track and protect previously unknown threats like malware based, non-malware based and in-memory only attacks, all in real-time.

Wonderflow enables companies to extract actionable insights from unstructured consumer feedback data. It collects customer’s feedback from public and private sources in multiple languages and employs its technology that is based on AI and Natural Language Processing for automatic reading and interpretation. It then pulls out actionable insights from the data that are published on the service’s dashboard for easy accessibility.
