Welcome to HEJU Pulse, where European deep tech startups are once again attracting substantial capital across key sectors like AI, quantum computing, and clean energy. Indeed, last week alone saw over one billion euros secured by European tech startups in more than fifty deals, highlighting robust investor confidence in the region. That's a significant figure, and in clean energy, a BAE Systems spinout is making waves with its nuclear technology. Nuclear Turbines, emerging from stealth mode, has raised fifteen million dollars led by IQ Capital. They aim to significantly reduce the cost of electricity generation from nuclear power plants. A crucial step for global decarbonization efforts. Moving to AI, a Spanish scaleup is targeting a massive funding round to boost enterprise efficiency. Multiverse Computing is looking for up to five hundred and seventy million dollars, which would value them at an elevated one point seven billion dollars. They focus on making enterprise AI more efficient and cost-effective. Their approach integrates quantum computing principles, addressing the growing expenses and computational demands of large-scale AI. And in digital infrastructure, DFINITY is championing a new vision. DFINITY advocates for sovereign computing, aiming to reduce enterprise and government reliance on hyperscale cloud providers. This addresses growing concerns over digital independence. Empowering individual entities with more autonomy then. That's all for today's HEJU Pulse.
