  • Satellites: The new infrastructure of everything

    Satellites: The new infrastructure of everything
    2026/10/20
    Satellites have become the invisible backbone of modern life, as essential as electricity or running water, yet almost entirely unnoticed. We explore how the next generation of satellite infrastructure is being built in Europe, connecting space to the phone in your pocket or the Internet of Things devices used by farmers in their fields. Featuring company founders and the institutions backing them, this is the story of how pressing a button in a small office in a European village changes the direction of a satellite in. space.

Subscribe to Invested by Europe so you don't miss any of the 30 episodes on the New Space business.

Experts from the European Space Agency and the European Commission explain how satellites shape daily life in ways most people never notice. We also look at how Russia's invasion of Ukraine exposed Europe's dependence on foreign rockets, and why closing the investment gap is a strategic imperative.

  • Invested by Europe: Why deep tech matters for Europe’s economy and everyday life

    Invested by Europe: Why deep tech matters for Europe’s economy and everyday life
    2026/06/02

    Deep tech is often described as the opposite of conventional or “shallow” technology. Rather than focusing on incremental improvements in software or business models, deep tech is driven by scientific breakthroughs aimed at solving real-world problems that persist over time.


    In this episode of Invested by Europe, Jussi Hätönen, head of European Innovation Council Fund investments at the European Investment Bank, explains:


    • what deep tech really means
    • how it differs from traditional tech innovation
    • why it takes longer and costs more to develop
    • why getting deep tech right is essential for Europe’s competitiveness, resilience and sovereignty.

  • Invested by Europe: How sustainable liquid fuels will decarbonise aviation and shipping

    Invested by Europe: How sustainable liquid fuels will decarbonise aviation and shipping
    2026/06/02

    Gasoline prices are rising, and while drivers can switch to electric cars, other sectors face fewer alternatives. Aviation, shipping and heavy transport still rely on liquid fuels — and electrification is not yet a realistic option for many of these fleets.

    In this episode of Invested by Europe, Tiago Lopes, a senior engineer at the European Investment Bank, explains:

    • what sustainable liquid fuels are
    • why they are critical for aviation and maritime transport
    • what is preventing them from being produced at scale in Europe
    • what is at stake for Europe’s energy security and strategic autonomy.

    Invested by Europe: How Cleantech is Driving Europe’s Energy Transition
    2026/05/19

    Cleantech is no longer a niche sector. It is at the heart of a full‑scale industrial transformation, shaping how Europe produces energy, decarbonises industry and builds a more resilient economy.

    In this episode of Invested by Europe, Sofia Viola, an investment officer at the European Investment Bank, explains:

    • What cleantech is today — a clue: it’s more than just renewable energy
    • Why energy storage is critical to balancing renewable supply and demand
    • Why batteries are crucial to stabilising the power system
    • Why industrial decarbonisation is essential for competitiveness
    • How the EIC Fund supports cleantech startups and scale‑ups
    • Why access to long‑term capital remains a key challenge in Europe
    • What makes her optimistic about the future of cleantech

    The conversation also explores why cleantech represents a major economic opportunity — and why scaling these technologies will be decisive for Europe’s energy transition.
