Our Venture Strategy Domain Lead Dr. Kiziltan Yüceil attended the de:hub Initiative Ecosystem Forum 2025 this October, where innovators from startups, Mittelstand, policy, and research met to shape Germany’s digital and deep tech future. Key insights for Niterra Ventures: • Policy alignment is key to scaling dual use deep tech solutions in energy, mobility, and industrial IoT. • Mittelstand companies seek compliant pilot projects that deliver measurable impact and quick integration. • Innovation hubs are evolving into national commercialization platforms accelerating regulated market entry. The event also underscored that digital sovereignty now defines strategic areas like AI, cybersecurity, and fintech. As hubs become distributed accelerators for sustainable and secure technologies, collaboration between startups and industry is more vital than ever. We look forward to continuing to engage with the De Hub network to identify opportunities that bridge deep tech innovation and market readiness. #DeepTech #DigitalSovereignty #OpenInnovation #Mittelstand #IndustrialIoT #GreenTech #NiterraVentures #DeHub2025 © de:hub Initiative, Hannes Schmidt
