European Leadership in Innovation

Europe stands at the forefront of a transformative era fueled by cutting-edge technologies such as AI, quantum computing, and synthetic biology. With robust research capacity and a wealth of talent, Europe is well-positioned to lead in these disruptive technologies, which are pivotal for addressing global challenges like climate change.


Kembara's Strategic Investment Focus 

Kembara is dedicated to supporting technology startups in their growth phase, specifically targeting Series B and C companies in deeptech and climate sectors. The fund prioritizes investments in countries like Germany, Spain, France, Sweden, and other EU member states, aiming to foster innovation and accelerate the development of breakthrough technologies. By focusing on startups with strong intellectual property and disruptive advancements in science and engineering, Kembara seeks to drive forward sectors including AI, future computing, robotics, space technologies, advanced materials, and new-generation energy systems.


Impact of ETCI and EIF Support 

The European Tech Champions Initiative (ETCI), backed by the EIF, plays a pivotal role in supporting large European funds like Kembara. This initiative aims to provide substantial financial backing to leading technology startups, ensuring they have the resources needed for growth and expansion. By preventing these companies from relocating and reinforcing Europe's strategic autonomy, ETCI contributes significantly to enhancing Europe's competitiveness in the global tech landscape. The EIF's endorsement of Kembara underscores its commitment to nurturing innovation and promoting sustainable economic development across Europe.
