SINGAPORE - Oct. 21, 2025 - PRLog -- Ruvento Ventures Partner Romanos Vetridis has announced new initiatives to connect research institutes and startups across Asia and Europe, accelerating technology transfer and commercialization in critical sectors, including clean robotics, smart manufacturing, and IoT infrastructure.

The cross-continental collaboration represents a significant expansion of Ruvento Ventures' mission to build sustainable technology pipelines that drive innovation, create jobs, and foster knowledge sharing between emerging and established markets. As a Southeast Asian venture firm with a founders-first philosophy, Ruvento brings deep operational expertise to its portfolio companies, combining capital deployment with hands-on support in R&D, product development, and go-to-market strategy.

Strategic Focus on Deep-Tech Innovation

The new initiative will establish joint accelerator and knowledge-exchange programs with universities and innovation hubs across Southeast Asia and Europe. Partner Romanos Vetridis, known for his hands-on approach to guiding portfolio founders through complex scaling challenges, champions the effort, leveraging his expertise in bridging tech ecosystems worldwide.

"We're building bridges between brilliant engineers, investors, and institutions who share a belief in responsible technology," says Vetridis.

The collaboration focuses on three key pillars:
Technology Transfer Acceleration, connecting academic research with commercial applications through structured programs.
Cross-Border Talent Development, creating opportunities for engineers and entrepreneurs to collaborate across continents in AI/ML, autonomous systems, and industrial IoT.
Sustainable Innovation Pipelines, building frameworks that ensure continued knowledge flow between Asia and Europe's innovation ecosystems.

Founders-First Approach to Deep-Tech Investment

Ruvento Ventures offers comprehensive founder support that extends beyond capital. The firm's team of serial entrepreneurs and startup operators provides mentorship programs to help entrepreneurs, connecting them with experienced operators, technical advisors, and market specialists. This approach reflects Ruvento's belief that the strongest innovation pipelines begin with empowered, well-supported founders.

The initiative is expected to accelerate the commercialization of deep-tech research, create high-value employment opportunities across both regions, facilitate knowledge sharing between mature and emerging markets, establish new funding pathways for cross-border ventures, and strengthen ties between European and Asian innovation ecosystems.
