Deeptech startups are at the forefront of revolutionizing industries and solving global challenges. By leveraging cutting-edge research in areas such as artificial intelligence, life science, sustainable food, nanotechnology, biotechnology, these companies develop radical solutions that can change the world with disruptive innovations. But the path from idea to market is both long and complex.
Deeptech companies have challenges in securing long-term investments, building strong research teams and navigating an often unfamiliar regulatory framework. Despite these challenges, deeptech offers enormous opportunities. Once the companies are in the market, they are strong in competitiveness and their ideas are difficult to copy.
