Europas Awards 2023: Celebrating the Pinnacle of European Tech Startups in Lisbon

In the throbbing heart of Lisbon, a different kind of excitement is palpable. On November 13th, 2023, the European tech community will descend upon Portugal’s capital, all eyes trained on the grandeur of The Europas Awards. The awards, along with Web Summit and the Grit Daily Speaker’s and Media Dinner, promise to make the 13th to the 16th a thrilling period.

The Europas Awards have, over the years, established themselves as Europe’s premier tech startup awards. Year after year, the event has showcased a veritable who’s who of the continent’s burgeoning tech scene, rewarding innovation, audacity, and success. But The Europas are more than just an award ceremony; they are a crucible where ideas meld, partnerships form, and the future of tech gets written.

Consider the illustrious trajectory of past winners:

• BUILDER.AI: As 2022’s Scaleup of the Year, this tech juggernaut used the acclaim as a launchpad, subsequently roping in a whopping $450 million in investments from industry titans like Microsoft and the Qatar Investment Authority.
• MICROHARVEST: Bagging the crown in the 2022 AG/Food Tech Category, this pioneer in sustainable protein production underscored the importance of reimagining our food systems, earning accolades and significantly bolstering its brand prominence.
• DELIVEROO: A blast from 2015, this food delivery platform, celebrated as the Best E-commerce Startup, has now expanded its footprint to over ten countries, proving that the recognition at The Europas can indeed be a game-changer.

This year promises to be even more exciting. With quantum leaps in technology, the ongoing evolution of AI, and burgeoning trends in fintech, medtech, and agritech, there will be a diverse offering of companies, each vying for the top spot.

However, the startups involved are not merely looking for recognition. Instead, they are chasing validation, partnership opportunities, and the chance to captivate investors’ imaginations. Competition will be fierce. After all, a nod from The Europas is a testament to a startup’s potential to not just succeed but to redefine market norms.

As Lisbon readies itself for the event, one thing is clear: the future of European tech looks luminous, and The Europas are here to showcase it to the world.
