Philipp Herkelmann is a driving force behind strengthening Europe's position as a global tech leader. He co-initiated EU Inc., the largest startup petition ever launched, calling for the creation of a pan-European entity to foster a thriving tech hub. Building on this momentum, he is currently developing "Futur II," an early-stage venture fund specifically designed to support ambitious founders and their groundbreaking ventures originating from research hubs across Europe. This fund aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and market-ready innovation, fueling the next generation of European tech companies.
