In this episode of Campus To Capital, we sit down with Andreas Schwarzenbrunner – General Partner at Speedinvest and one of Europe’s leading voices in early-stage venture capital.

But this conversation goes far beyond term sheets and cap tables.
With a background in politics and a deep focus on industrial and climate tech, Andreas shares what it truly takes to build globally competitive startups in Europe.

We talk about:

• What politics can learn from venture capital – and vice versa

• The role of AI-powered robotics, simulation, and predictive maintenance

• Europe’s urgent need for smarter capital, talent mobility, and visa reforms

• The story behind Speedinvest’s “Build in Europe” initiative

• Where we are in the AI hype cycle

• Where AI can drive real value in industrial sectors

This episode is a deep dive into Europe’s innovation landscape – and what it takes to lead the next frontier of tech.

Many thanks to Andreas for joining the conversation – and for sharing his vision for Europe’s tech future.
