Deep tech innovation aims to provide concrete solutions to our societal problems by finding its source in a deep interaction with the most recent scientific and technological advances and by seeking to produce a profound impact in the targeted application areas.   Sectors, which are most fertile for deep tech applications are life-science, computing, food and agri-tech, aerospace, energy and clean-tech, industrial technologies, telecom, new materials, chemistry. However deep tech also includes, among other things, artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning. We welcome applications from all deep tech fields of activity.   A deep tech company must (a) be leveraging breakthroughs in scientific fields; (b) have their core technology based on recent scientific advancements or pushing boundaries in established fields; (c) have technology with the potential to disrupt the existing markets or create entirely new ones, and (d) have a solution that is genuinely innovative and not just an incremental improvement.   Ideally, the technology can also be scaled efficiently and reach a broad audience, although this is not a defining characteristic and a technology that is not easily scalable can still be deep tech.
