From the Ted Talk by Antoine Gourévitch: What is deep tech? A look at how it could shape the future

Unscramble the Blue Letters


So what is deep tech? I've spent the last 18 mohnts visiting 100 research labs and start-ups from Shenzhen in China to Haifa in irseal, and this is what I learned about deep tech ventures. They focus on fundamental isesus, identifying physical constraints of industries not solved for decades. For example, in energy, nuclear fusion; in mobility, air roxtaobi. They work as a close hub of emerging thogeineocls. Like synthetic biology, quantum programming, artificial iilgnecetlne and many others, they focus on physical product using data and digital platform to accelerate the test-and-run phase. They rely on an ecosystem to aleactecre the ininvotoan cycle, including the build-and-test phase. Too many disciplines are necessary to master for one venture to go alone. It is about cooperation, not competition. Deep tech is ullettaimy transforming discovery into a dgeisn and engineering exercise.

Original Text


So what is deep tech? I've spent the last 18 months visiting 100 research labs and start-ups from Shenzhen in China to Haifa in Israel, and this is what I learned about deep tech ventures. They focus on fundamental issues, identifying physical constraints of industries not solved for decades. For example, in energy, nuclear fusion; in mobility, air robotaxi. They work as a close hub of emerging technologies. Like synthetic biology, quantum programming, artificial intelligence and many others, they focus on physical product using data and digital platform to accelerate the test-and-run phase. They rely on an ecosystem to accelerate the innovation cycle, including the build-and-test phase. Too many disciplines are necessary to master for one venture to go alone. It is about cooperation, not competition. Deep tech is ultimately transforming discovery into a design and engineering exercise.
