Ecosystem Growth

This track is designed for organizations ready to lead systemic change. By convening stakeholders in curated formats such as Ecosystem Hacks or by launching structured accelerator programs, partners can develop initiatives that translate strategic goals into long-term, measurable outcomes. It also supports the design and execution of multi-stakeholder projects with regional or thematic focus.

International Network

This track enables partners to strengthen their positioning within Europe’s innovation landscape. It provides access to the DEEP Ecosystems Conference, opportunities to lead high-visibility sessions, and the ability to host international delegations. It is particularly relevant for ecosystem leaders looking for collaborations and attracting global attention to their local initiatives.

Ecosystem Intelligence

Through this track, members access advanced analytics on startup activity, talent, investment, and branding via tools like the Ecosystem Health Check and the Startup Heatmap. Quarterly insights and benchmarking reports offer ongoing clarity for policy formulation, funding applications, or strategic alignment.

Public Funding

This track supports partners in leveraging public resources to implement innovation strategies. DEEP monitors funding opportunities, facilitates consortium building, and provides expert support in project conceptualization. It is particularly suitable for organizations aiming to lead EU-funded initiatives or scale ecosystem programs.

Innovation Scouting

Focused on sourcing and selection, this track provides access to Europe’s most relevant early-stage ventures. Partners use it to manage targeted calls, run selection programs, or curate deal flow aligned with industry priorities. It combines data-driven matching with DEEP’s reach in the startup community to ensure relevant and timely connections.
