First, what is “deep tech?” Deep technologies are unique, differentiated, often protected or hard to reproduce, technological or scientific advances. These technologies are what create new industries and shake up the ones of old. A few popular examples would be CRISPR gene-editing, new vaccines, new nuclear reactor designs, robotics, new proteins sources, clean water technologies, and 3D printing. They have the potential to fundamentally improve the human condition.
