With the Demo Day held on Tuesday, July 14, the fourth edition of Impact Deal came to a close. Impact Deal is the acceleration programme dedicated to data-driven innovation with a social and environmental mission.
Out of the 139 applications received, 30 startups were selected to participate in the first phase of the acceleration programme. Of these, 15 advanced to the second phase, focused on refining funding opportunities and building strategic collaborations based on access to public and private datasets provided by the 12 members of the Data Club.
From cutting-edge AI technologies to sustainable platforms and inclusive solutions, these startups embody the European entrepreneurial spirit, tackling some of the most urgent challenges of our time.
