David DANA a partagé ceciLast Friday, I had the pleasure of moderating a panel on deeptech financing at the DeepTech Ventures Summit at GridX, with three investors actively contributing to the development of the European deeptech ecosystem: Sven De Cleyn from imec.istart (Belgium), David Groom from Deeptech Labs (UK), and Maxime Mallet from Jolt Capital (France). What struck me most was how similar the conviction is, regardless of where you are based in Europe or at which stage you invest. Our panel covered the full spectrum, from spin-offs and pre-seed/seed investments to growth-stage companies. Europe has an incredible level of research, science and innovation. Where we still fall short is in turning enough of that innovation into commercial and industrial success at scale. And as companies grow, another challenge emerges: the large amounts of capital required to reindustrialise Europe and build production capacity remain far too scarce. This means we need to think about scale much earlier — and focus not only on technology and financing, but also on customers, contracts, production and industrialisation from the outset. A fascinating discussion, and one that could easily have lasted much longer. Many thanks to Technoport SA, Diego De Biasio and the entire team for the impressive organisation!

David DANA a partagé ceciThanks DeepTech Ventures and Technoport SA for offering me the opportunity to share my perspective. Looking forward to connecting at the upcoming event and discussing how we can further strengthen the European deeptech ecosystem. 🔬🚀🛰️ Finding the right partners is a key success factor — and far from guaranteed. Access to smart funding is the other critical piece of the equation. If you’ll be there, don’t hesitate to get in touch!David DANA a partagé ceci🌍 Deeptech needs to think beyond borders. In his latest interview, David DANA, shares why initiatives like the Deeptech Ventures Summit can play an important role in connecting Luxembourg with the wider European deeptech ecosystem. 💡 A conversation about ambition, collaboration, and why building European strength starts with connecting the right people. 🎥 Watch David’s full perspective. 📅 17–18 September 2026 📍 GRIDX, Luxembourg Silicon Luxembourg | Startup Luxembourg | LuXembourg - Let's Make It Happen

David DANA a partagé ceciLooking forward to being in Kraków next week for the European Rover Challenge 2026 event 🚀 I’ll be joining the panel “What next in exploration? Directions for the coming decade” together with experts from European Space Agency - ESA and EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme, to discuss where space exploration technologies and robotics are heading over the next decade. I’ll be bringing the investor perspective to the conversation: how we can turn Europe’s remarkable scientific and technological capabilities into ambitious, scalable companies — and how private capital can complement institutional funding to help build the next generation of European space leaders. After many years investing in deeptech and, more particularly, in the European space ecosystem, I’m looking forward to exchanging views on where the next opportunities will emerge — and what Europe needs to do to capture them. 📍 AGH University of Krakow 📅 September 4–6, 2026 Looking forward to seeing many familiar faces — and meeting new ones — in Kraków!

David DANA a partagé ceciExpansion Ventures is excited to co-lead ATMOS Space Cargo EUR 25.7m Series-A round with Balnord, welcoming also new co-investors (the EIC - European Innovation Council and Keen Venture Partners) to support a critical step forward for Europe’s space capabilities, alongside a great group of actively supporting investors (OTB Ventures, HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds, Seraphim Space, Faber, E2MC (Earth-to-Mars Capital), Lennertz & Co., Mätch VC, etc.). With this raise, ATMOS is transitioning into real operations: deploying multiple vehicles, building a steady flight cadence, and expanding into government and defence use cases — all while pushing toward a much larger next-generation system. Returning materials, hardware, and data from orbit is becoming foundational — for industrial use cases, research, and security alike. Without it, large parts of the space economy simply don’t scale. We see ATMOS as an early builder of that missing layer — turning what has been rare and experimental into something reliable and repeatable. Proud to support Sebastian Klaus and the team as they build this capability for Europe. Kudos to Ted E.!David DANA a partagé ceciOne year ago today, PHOENIX 1 flew. Three teams were leading our first mission across the globe: – Mission Control, led by our COO Marta Oliveira, ATMOS HQ in Lichtenau – Launch Operations, led by Chief Engineer Christian Grimm and CTO Jeffrey Hendrikse, Launch Site in Cape Canaveral – Reentry Reconnaissance, led by our CEO Sebastian Klaus, on a single-engine plane over the Atlantic off the coast of Brazil Today, we close our Series A and begin writing the next chapter. We are on trajectory to build Europe's orbital return infrastructure. To everyone on this journey with us – thank you!

David DANA a aimé ceciDavid DANA a aimé ceciApparently I would be a good fit for my role, say the algorithms. A top applicant. That's reassuring. And yes, here is the news - I'm leaving the EBRD and recruitment has started for my successor. I'm not going until next year, and I've got plenty still to do, but I will have done nearly five years in this role, and I want to move on. It's a brilliant job in a wonderful organisation, and it will be a privilege for whoever gets the role in my place. For me, it's a chance to pause and reflect - I'll take a break, and then I hope to get involved in some advisory work. But that's for the future - for now, there's work to do.

David DANA a aimé ceciDavid DANA a aimé ceciWe've raised $5.75B in new capital! $1.75B for seed and early-stage, $4B for growth. Venture has been drifting toward the extremes: a few enormous late-stage checks, a long tail of small seed rounds, a widening gap in between. We think backing a founder before there's a product and standing behind them at scale is the same job, not two businesses. That matters a lot in Israel. Israeli founders build globally from day one, and the gap between an interesting seed round and a company that wins its category is where too many get stuck - and we plan to be there to help. There's a lot being built here. We intend to be in it. Bessemer Venture Partners https://lnkd.in/p/eWvWfSvy

Now that Summus’ Q4 financials have been published, it is a pleasure to share the asset & investment management activities that have taken us to a balance sheet volume of over EUR 600m. Q4 was above all a period of major changes – we sold two assets from the portfolio, Auriga and Damme in the Baltics, and acquired the shopping mall Libero in Katowice, Poland. As a result of these rotations, GLA increased by 7%, NOI by 33% and the portfolio value by 12% compared to the previous year. Nearly 40% of the portfolio is now located in Poland. Retail now represents 56% of the portfolio and we like it, because through active management we have achieved close to a 12% dividend yield precisely in retail. The portfolio’s low vacancy of 1.9% and anchor tenants with a WAULT of over 5 years were certainly among the reasons for the asset revaluation at year-end, giving the portfolio a new market value of EUR 571m. Good reading! #SummusCapital #ZenithFamilyOffice #AssetManagement #InvestmentManagement #RealEstate #PortfolioGrowth #FinancialResults #Q4Results

In short: 20% ahead of VARA consensus underlying net profit for 2H25, with revenues 2% ahead (supported by credit recoveries in December, with NII slightly below and fees & trading largely in line) and opex 3% below (with CHF130mn gross run-rate savings achieved in the year, and a further ~CHF130mn targeted over 2026-28). AuM and net new money are broadly in line with expectations, while CET1 is 50bps ahead at 17.4%, supported by lower RWAs (including the operational risk RWA relief of 2015 US DOJ settlement). Julius Baer has reconfirmed its mid-term targets, including 4-5% net new money growth by 2028, <67% CIR by 2028, and >30% adjusted RoCET1 (calculated at 14% CET1 ratio) over 2026-28.

Independent liquidator In Luxembourg’s highly regulated fund environment, the liquidation phase is just as critical as the structuring and operational life of a fund. Appointing an independent liquidator can make a significant difference in ensuring a structured, transparent, and efficient liquidation process - providing a safeguard to all stakeholders. Liquidating a fund is not a mere formality. It’s a strategic, delicate phase that requires neutrality, experience, and professionalism. #FundLiquidation #LiquidationServices #IndependentLiquidator #idassociates #Consulting #Independence #Transparency #Trust #FundGovernance #Stakeholders
