Deep Tech
Deep Tech refers to technologies with high entry barriers that require a high level of scientific knowledge to be developed and a high investment to become products or services that can reach the global markets, with a large impact on society. The big challenges facing the Deep Tech start-ups are to cross the bridge between science and innovation and to decrease uncertainty about future returns on investments. The term Deep Tech encompasses both Deep Science and Digital Techs as main subgroups.
