# Igniting a New ![](https://www.htgf.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/headline-marker-home-grey-2.svg)

# Wirtschafts­_wunder._

Europe’s next decade will be defined by the founders who act today.
We back them, from the first idea to the global market.







![](/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/fallback_slider_tablet_02-1080x1080.webp)

## Europe’s prosperity was built on breakthroughs _of the late 19th and 20th century._







![](/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/fallback_slider_tablet_03-1080x1080.webp)

## Crisis and opportunity arrive together. __AI, robotics, quantum — breakthrough technologies are rewriting entire industries. The window to act is now.__







![](/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/fallback_slider_tablet_04_EN-1080x1080.webp)

## The answer has always been the same: technology and entrepreneurship.
_They shaped their era. Their names still do._







![](/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/fallback_slider_tablet_05_EN-1080x1080.webp)

## The founders who act today __will define the next decade.__

Founders are backed from the first idea—and who became category-defining companies. Many more to come.







![](/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/fallback_slider_tablet_06-1080x1080.webp)

## **That’s why we’re expanding our platform.**

More stages, more capital, more impact – for the founders shaping Europe’s next decade.

Deep learning and AI have revolutionized how images, sounds and natural language are processed. However, software for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for the development of technical products is still using traditional techniques. Neural Concept Shape is the first deep learning software solution dedicated to Computer Assisted Engineering and Design. The cloud-based simulation software allows clients to speed up development cycles, enhance product performance and reduce computational costs.

Neural Concept was founded in the spring of 2018. The start-up is a spin-off from EPFL’s computer vision laboratory where the founding team developed the fundamental technology. The company has also been supported by the Venture Kick support scheme.
