I’m excited to announce that The Europas Awards for European Tech Startups[1] is really shaping up!

There are now 20 categories including new additions to cover AgTech / FoodTech, SpaceTech, GovTech and Mobility Tech.

Attendees, nominees and winners will get discounts to TechCrunch Disrupt in Berlin[5], later this year.
