Aedifion, with a name suggesting a connection to architecture or buildings, could be focusing on Climate Tech or Smart Buildings, aligning with the region's emphasis on sustainability. Lyceum, with an educational or academic connotation, could be involved in EdTech or AI-driven educational platforms, which are gaining traction. McMakler, known for its real estate services, likely focuses on PropTech, aiming to leverage technology to enhance real estate transactions and management.
The DACH region has seen a surge in investments in deep tech, with companies like Helsing and Luma leading the way. The EU's "Choose Europe" strategy has been instrumental in attracting funding for startups, emphasizing sectors like AI, biotech, and green innovation. Private and public investors are also prioritizing infrastructure and technology sovereignty, with investments in AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, and industrial automation on the rise.
Recent investments in these companies are not yet publicly disclosed, but it's worth noting that Swiss investor redalpine and 10x founders from Munich have invested 10.3 million euros in Lyceum, a Berlin and Zurich-based DeepTech startup. French investor Eurazeo and several other investors have invested around 17 million euros in aedifion. McMakler has received a substantial investment from McMakler Kreos Capital (part of BlackRock) and Target Global, among others.
