Imec.DeepTechVentures ensures maximum chances of success for both visionary investors and entrepreneurs. Addressing both technology and market risks.
Deep-tech solutions materialize when fundamental scientific innovations converge with cutting-edge engineering and design. They can transform the future in various application domains: health, mobility, energy, food and agriculture, computing, space exploration, and more.
Start-ups play a crucial role in bringing deep-tech innovations to the market. Unburdened by legacy portfolios, they can flexibly focus on essential disruptions. They and their investors are assured of substantial and exclusive revenues. Provided that the tech works, and solves the right problem.
