What does deep tech mean?
Deep Techs encompass startups, scaleups, and initiatives rooted in research and development or advanced engineering (TRL 2-8).
They entail notable scientific or engineering uncertainties, along with the risk associated with product-market fit. These entities address challenges in the environmental, human, or industrial domains and are distinguished by a substantial barrier to entry, such as patents, extended implementation periods, and advanced technologies.
