About us

Europe is a beautifully fragmented continent — dozens of countries, countless languages, a rich mosaic of cultures and business traditions. That diversity is its greatest strength, but it has also kept the startup ecosystem scattered and hard to follow as a whole.

EU Startups News was founded in 2026 with a single mission: to unify and bridge the European startup and innovation story. We believe every funding round in Warsaw, every product launch in Lisbon, every policy change in Brussels deserves the same attention as the big news coming out of London or Berlin.

We cover the whole startup ecosystem across all 27 EU member states — plus the broader European economic area. Our editorial team is embedded across the continent, giving us the local intelligence to find stories that pan-European outlets miss.
