______________________________________________________________What is deeptech?
Deeptech is about the development and use of advances in research and advanced technology. Deeptech solutions tackle major societal challenges and often take a long time to develop. Once they have reached their objective, they have great international market potential.
Because deeptech companies work with cutting-edge technology that requires intensive research and development, they have a large need for capital to go from idea to market. They offer solutions to our most pressing challenges in society and the economy. And they create the conditions for radically renewing and improving business productivity, growth and international competitiveness.
Participate in the development
Deeptech is crucial for the development of Sweden's prosperity, resilience and security. Deeptech innovations challenge and change the conditions for entire industries and economies on a global level.
Here you will find offers and meetings related to deeptech, cutting-edge technology and new companies. You will also find in-depth knowledge of how Vinnova works to support innovation.
