While Europe might be a single market, it’s definitely not a single tech scene. That fact makes it difficult to feel the pulse of the European tech. But if you take a close look, you’ll quickly notice that there is interesting stuff happening in Europe
With this report we want to provide a comprehensive review of investment in startups and high-growth technology companies across 31 countries in Europe. Our aim is to provide data-driven guidance, insights and inspiration to stakeholders in the European scaleup ecosystem.
HealthTech is at the forefront of startups and scaleups, in the United States as well as in Europe. There is no single European healthcare system or market. Instead, high complexity and cultural diversity of healthcare systems makes it challenging to jump into multiple markets and thus to scaleup new companies. But if you take a close look, you’ll quickly notice that there is interesting stuff happening in Europe
With this report we want to provide a comprehensive review of investment in startups and high-growth HealthTech technology companies across 31 countries in Europe. Our aim is to provide data-driven guidance, insights, perspective and inspiration to stakeholders in the European scaleup ecosystem.

This document discusses the importance of investing in regional infrastructure in the UK to drive economic growth. It argues that the UK needs to invest more in key regional city centers beyond London to create a series of interconnected regional growth hubs. Specifically, it recommends focusing investment on improving road, rail, air and maritime links between major cities like Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Newcastle to boost trade, innovation and economic activity in these regions. The document also stresses the importance of improving global air links from regional airports to connect UK businesses to fast-growing international markets in Asia and elsewhere.
The UK saw record-high venture capital investment of $15 billion in 2020.

UK deep tech investment rose 17% in 2020, the highest growth rate globally, though UK R&D expenditure is falling behind global players like the US. London maintained its position as the fourth highest city globally for tech VC investment in 2020.

Figures compiled by Tech Nation and Dealroom for the Digital Economy Council show that investors continue to back some of the UK’s most promising tech teams, despite the challenges posed by Covid-19.
As members of the UK tech sector meet virtually during #LTWConnects events, figures show UK digital tech companies are continuing to attract investment, are still advertising vacancies and are optimistic that they can navigate the crisis. On measures including investment raised by companies and capital raised by investors - which will help sustain the sector for the long term - the UK outperforms all of its European neighbours.
The document summarizes the MWC Open Innovation Challenge 2022, a hybrid event connecting corporations, investors, and technology providers taking place March 1-8 in Barcelona.

Participants can attend physically on March 1-2 or virtually March 3-8. Corporations will benefit from exposure to startups and a free pass to MWC/4YFN. Topics of interest include healthcare, mobility, industry 4.0, and more. Previous editions saw 1100 meetings between 38 corporations, startups, and investors from around the world.
The document is a research paper that summarizes the results of a survey of 820 IT decision makers across Europe regarding the challenges they face in digital business transformation. Some of the key findings include:

- Political and economic uncertainty have caused most IT leaders to change their decision making processes and prioritize flexible IT infrastructure over long term projects. Three in five are pursuing new digital transformation projects in response.
- Cloud strategies are becoming more mature and cloud-hosted applications are seen as more appealing due to the flexibility they provide during uncertain times. However,

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
