Private capital meets strategic technology: A market update from SuperReturn Tech Sovereignty
In June, we launched SuperReturn Tech Sovereignty in Berlin, an event which connects private capital investors focused on accelerating and scaling trusted strategically important technologies for Europe.
From AI & data centres and defene, security and resilience, to supply chain & energy independence and financing Europe's innovation economy, we connected LPs and GPs to explore the critical technologies shaping Europes security and independence. Across several session LPs, GPs and policy makers discussed building sovereign tech strategies as Europe seeks to strengthen their defense and technology offerings. We chatted to some of the speakers to get their thoughts on this growing field in private markets and how investors and policy makers alike can manage the risks and opportunities involved.
