Background
The report "Accelerating European deep tech — new pathways from ideas to impact" has its basis in an EU conference on technology-intensive entrepreneurship that was held in June 2023. The report highlights several important points that can improve the conditions of deep-tech companies, including that Sweden needs:
- A national deeptech strategy as a basis for investment in power
- Adapt and further develop financing instruments and public risk sharing
- Develop the innovation ecosystem for deeptech companies
