§  About: Deep tech is driven by scientific discoveries and engineering breakthroughs, turning theoretical concepts into real-world applications.

§  Unlike conventional tech, which focuses on incremental improvements, deep tech ventures leverage novel technologies for competitive advantage, often through long and uncertain R&D processes.

§  Key Characteristics of Deep Tech:

§  Scientific Intensity: Rooted in fundamental scientific discoveries or engineering innovations.

§  Long R&D Cycles: Typically require extended periods of research and development.

§  High Capital Intensity: Often need significant investment in specialized equipment and talent.

§  Potential for Disruptive Impact: Capable of creating new markets or significantly transforming existing ones.

Annually ,The US ,the UK ,Germany and Japan spends over 3 percent of their GDP on R&D .China allocates just over 2.68 per cent ; India spends under 1 per cent .
