💡What Makes Deep Tech Companies Different and Unique? Check out the key learnings from the European Deep Tech Report 2023 by DealRoom ➡️Fundamentally New Science and Engineering - Deep Tech involves novel scientific and engineering breakthroughs making their way into products and companies for the first time. ➡️Mega-Waves of Innovation - Deep Tech innovations have unleashed significant waves of progress, often leading to the creation of entirely new industries and major companies. ➡️Unique Risk Profile - Deep Techs require a distinct investment approach, focusing on the long-term potential and robustness of the underlying technology rather than immediate market demand. ➡️ Longer Development Times - The initial research and development phase is extensive, leading to longer times from idea to market. ➡️Capital Intensity - Deep Techs often require significant capital expenditure (CapEx) before achieving revenue or product-market fit. This creates a barrier but also a defensibility moat against competition. ➡️Stronger Defensibility - Deep Tech startups possess a stronger competitive edge due to their cutting-edge technologies, intellectual property (IP) portfolios, and teams with specialized technical expertise. ➡️Technological Breakthroughs and Impact - Deep Tech is essential for addressing global challenges such as climate change, food security, intractable diseases, and more. Find the full report here https://hubs.la/Q02D-Zbk0 At D2XCEL we are on a mission to support 100 deep tech and digital companies on their path to international growth, contributing to Europe's industrial sustainability sovereignty. #Logistics #Transportation #EnergyStorage #Constructtion #AI #SmartCities
