Our research confirms that all commercial actors in the innovation acceleration industry are only interested in the visible part of innovative solutions, the ones that can be capitalised fastest.

The biggest investors are known to skim the cream and invest in the ventures that have performed best and have the highest growth potential, adding relatively little value in the process. Even then, they are poor identifiers of potential unicorns, as our Unicorn Research shows.

Our methodology identifies the most important innovations and the best actors early on, before they emerge, which for instance would empower the European Innovation Council.

The best and most sustainable strategy is to select and then allocate resources to the best performers. Europe has the possibility to drive, accelerate, and benefit from ALL its future unicorns, the drivers of our economy.
