Addressing both technology and market risks, imec.DeepTechVentures ensures maximum chances of success for both visionary investors and entrepreneurs.
Deep-tech solutions materialize when fundamental scientific innovations converge with cutting-edge engineering and design. They can transform the future in various application domains: health, mobility, energy, food and agriculture, computing, space exploration, and more.
Start-ups play a crucial role in bringing deep-tech innovations to the market. Unburdened by legacy portfolios, they can flexibly focus on essential disruptions. If the tech works – and solves the right problem – they and their investors are assured of substantial and exclusive revenues.
Compared with the previous wave of innovation, deep-tech venturing comes with high technology risks. It demands advanced infrastructure, expertise and substantial funding throughout all its stages. That requires a paradigm shift for both investors and entrepreneurs.
