Launch of Infinira Ventures: Connecting EU Deep-Tech Innovators with Investors

Infinira Launch Klara Joerg

The launch of Infinira Ventures marks the start of a new venture studio focused on deep-tech and impact-driven innovation. Founded under the umbrella of the EURICE Group, Infinira acts as an intermediary between innovators and institutional or private investors, creating targeted access to capital and enables high-quality deal flow. Managed by innovation expert Klara Schneider, the studio’s services span the entire deal lifecycle — from structured origination and due diligence to transaction execution, portfolio support, and scale-up activities.

“Our mission is to connect EU-backed start-ups and spin-offs with strategic investors and help transform novel technologies from research into market-ready innovations,” says Klara Schneider, Managing Director of Infinira. “We look forward to expanding our service portfolio for Europe’s thriving community of deep-tech and social entrepreneurs, alongside investors committed to making a tangible impact by investing in and scaling the EU start-ups of the future.”

As part of the EURICE Group and sister company to EURICE – European Research and Project Office GmbH, Infinira draws on over 25 years of expertise in valorisation, intellectual property management, and go-to-market strategies for collaborative research and innovation projects. This strong foundation allows the venture studio to deliver tailored business planning and venture-building services, with a focus on deep-tech and impact-driven entrepreneurship.

“With Infinira Ventures, our goal is to empower visionary founders and investors to create lasting impact, offering dedicated services to an extended network of highly skilled scientists and entrepreneurs – and closing the gap between research and market,” says Jörg Scherer, Managing Director of EURICE.

Supporting the European Startup and Scaleup Strategy

The launch of Infinira aligns closely with the European Commission’s Startup and Scaleup Strategy, which aims to create a more dynamic, innovation-friendly ecosystem across Europe. By facilitating access to finance, supporting cross-border collaboration, and strengthening the link between research excellence and entrepreneurship, Infinira directly contributes to the EU’s goal of fostering globally competitive and sustainable start-ups.

Through its integrated approach and close cooperation with EU-funded research initiatives, Infinira Ventures embodies the spirit of the New European Innovation Agenda, helping to transform Europe’s scientific strengths into market-leading solutions that address major societal and environmental challenges.
