What is Deep Tech?
At S3E, we define Deep Tech as the umbrella term for all those technologies grounded on either scientific discovery or meaningful engineering innovation. Deep Tech nurtures the development of disruptive solutions built around unique, protected or hard-to-reproduce technological or scientific advances and drives the creation of products, processes or services that fulfill unmet (or ill-met) market needs.
The opportunity for Deep Tech in Europe
Deep Tech combines the high risk in getting an idea to actually work with proving market demand through a product. There is no doubt that Europe’s scientific prowess is world-class. Many of the EU’s top Deep Tech companies have their roots in academia and drew early support from grants… and yet, all Southern European countries are currently ranked as moderate and emerging Innovators.
For the scope of this project Southern European Countries include the following EU countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovenia and Spain and the following Associated countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey.
This divide is rooted both in the origin and the funding of the startups, and S3E is here to shake things up!
