Startups and investors speak: meaningful connections, measurable impact 

Participants expressed deep appreciation for the opportunities provided through Eureka’s initiative. 

“We at Antares believe that technology has no borders and cross national exchange is essential in finding the best investments. Thanks to Eureka we had a really good session meeting several startups from Europe and beyond.” 

Louis Murayama, Antares Ventures 

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organizers for their outstanding efforts in creating such a well-structured and impactful event. From the pre-event discussions to the careful selection of participating companies and the sharing of detailed information, every aspect was thoughtfully designed to help us stay focused on our objectives. 

“Overall, attending the Eureka business matchmaking session was an invaluable opportunity to connect with numerous Europe-based startups in one place. The event offered a unique platform to explore cutting-edge advancements in materials, sensing, and other innovative fields. It was truly inspiring to witness the diverse range of technologies being developed and to engage in meaningful discussions with industry leaders and entrepreneurs. This gathering not only facilitated networking but also paved the way for potential collaborations that could drive future growth and innovation.” 

Pauloong Tay, Samsung 

“From Next Generation Chemistry perspective, Eureka’s SWITCH 2025 delegation was an efficient, effective bridge to leading investors. The curated Investors Session and targeted 1:1 matchmaking—together with structured followups—turned visibility into concrete next steps across new markets and partnerships. Without this organisation, we wouldn’t have accessed these investors, the crossborder opportunities, or the network created around the event.” 

Ricardo Costa, Next Generation Chemistry 

“Participating in SWITCH as part of the Eureka delegation allowed us to showcase European-developed health technologies in a global innovation hub and open the door to new markets. The intensive matchmaking session was especially valuable, enabling us to build meaningful connections with a diverse group of international investors and explore new opportunities for scaling our technology.” 

Xurxo Cegarra González, Insati 

“Eureka’s support at SWITCH enabled high-quality investor and corporate engagements that are already translating into concrete opportunities for iLoF. Would recommend it to any company wanting to grow in the Asia-Pacific region” 

Luís Valente, iLoF 

“We were delighted to join SWITCH Singapore 2025 with the Eureka delegation. The Eureka team’s five-star organization made our experience truly exceptional. Through the Investors and Matchmaking sessions, we engaged with leading hospitals, investors, and healthcare innovators, gaining valuable insights and forging promising partnerships for future global growth.” 

Valer Pop, LifeSense Group 

“Participating in SWITCH 2025 through the Eureka Delegation gave us direct access to highly relevant investors and innovation partners. For our Human Cognitive Monitoring and BCI technology, the Eureka investors and matchmaking sessions were particularly valuable, creating targeted discussions around real deployment opportunities and cross-border collaboration in Southeast Asia.”  

Masih Davari, InnoBrain
