X-Europe, an initiative born out of the European Commission's H2020 programme, aims to bring together leading deeptech startups, investors, corporations, and governments to forge stronger ties between developed and developing European regions. Leading the programme are five major ecosystem leaders - F6S, The Next Web, Design Terminal, Growth Tribe and TechChill - in the key regions of focus in X-Europe: the Baltics, western Europe, and the Visegrad region. Linking the developing regions of the Baltics and the Visegrad 4 to the wider European communities, the project's key focus is to allow opportunities and partnerships to spread across borders. Through the F6S platform, a total of 150 deeptech startups across six cohorts will be selected for the programme, each dedicated to a pressing deeptech topic: HealthTech, AgriTech, AI/ML, SpaceTech, GreenTech, and Cybersecurity. Startups joining X-Europe can expect a whole range of benefits, from training and one-on-one mentoring, matchmaking with corporates and investors, to gaining exposure at top tech events and through partners’ channels. As a centerpiece for the programme, X-Europe will host six flagship events, which will take place in Amsterdam (The Next Web), Riga (TechChill), and Budapest (Design Terminal bespoke event) between 2020 and 2022. As a Startup Europe initiative, all X-Europe services are offered free of charge.

X-Europe is adaptable to the current situation. Many services are delivered digitally and have begun in June remotely (such as the one-on-one mentoring, investor training/matchmaking, and more promotion on TNW media and social). Our first event will take place online at The Next Web conference in Amsterdam, 1-2 October 2020, to ensure participants can safely engage with us. We will maintain a safe and responsible programme and update our face-to-face event planning based on the latest advice.

Yes! All selected startups are expected to participate in the entire programme, attend online support services/webinars, one-on-one mentoring sessions, and respective X-Europe events. We know your time is very valuable, and all of our services have been designed with maximum value in mind whilst minimising unnecessary commitment. When it comes to incubation at TNW and TechChill and acceleration at Design Terminal, startups can indicate their preference regarding attendance and location. Due to limited physical availability, X-Europe will ensure to provide the limited spaces to startups who will receive the most benefit from these services.

X-Europe requires participation of up to two team members in the programme, as follows: i. founder/ C-level (mandatory); ii. founder / C-level / business development / marketing (optional). Flagship events: Two members per startup will receive tickets for the flagship event within their respective cohort. The attendees must meet the profile above. Incubation and acceleration: Due to limited physical availability at TNW, TechChill and Design Terminal, X-Europe reserves the right to award a limited amount of incubation and acceleration services to startups. The attendees must meet the profile above.

The X-Europe program time commitment was created with your busy schedules in mind. As the program takes place over several months we make sure it is never too intense. The webinars and training are spread out, and require a senior attendee, but you can feel free to send the most relevant stakeholder (eg marketing for marketing focused sessions). The matchmaking program is done on your behalf by the X-Europe team so we connect you straight with the corporates and investors. We simply need some info at the start of the program from you to create our portfolio. One-on-one mentoring is 1-2 hours every other week, and may require some extra work on your side, but this will be a valuable exercise. Events will be a one-off and will have a rich array of value for you there, plus a bit of fun. In short, X-Europe wont take too much time away from your business, family, and social commitments.
