Karista

✨ What an evening! ✨ On October 22nd, together with our friends at OTB Ventures, we hosted an intimate gathering during the Luxembourg Venture Days... and the energy was truly inspiring. We were delighted to welcome a vibrant mix of institutional representatives, business angels, and many startup CEOs from across the HealthTech, SpaceTech, and DeepTech ecosystems. The conversations confirmed what we already felt: Luxembourg and the Benelux are now at the forefront of Europe’s innovation frontier ! 👏 This event comes at a symbolic moment for us: Karista is opening its office in Luxembourg to federate the local ecosystem and accelerate its presence in the region. The exchanges during Luxembourg Venture Days further strengthen our ambition to support a Belgium–Luxembourg innovation corridor, unlocking new opportunities for founders, investors, and partners. A warm thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable evening — and especially to Estelle Godard and Jeremy Teboul representing OTB Ventures, and to Amine Benmoussa and Yvan-Michel Ehkirch from the Karista team. 🚀 And the momentum continues: today at 10:00 AM, Yvan-Michel Ehkirch takes the stage as a speaker in the panel “Recent Trends and Opportunities in Deeptech Venture Financing – Different Perspectives”, sharing insights on major shifts in deeptech financing and perspectives for 2026 and beyond. Here’s to more bridges, more innovation, and more collective impact in Luxembourg and beyond! #Karista #OTBVentures #LuxembourgVentureDays #HealthTech #SpaceTech #DeepTech #Innovation #Investment LPEA - Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association Startup Luxembourg
