Its starting point is an important and fundamental issue, that will be tackled, e.g. related to the UN’s sustainable development goals or an economic, environmental, or societal problem. It relies on the joint efforts of a multitude of different experts, e.g., scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Deep-tech employs the convergence of existing and emergent technologies, rooted in science and advanced engineering, and powered by the design-build-test-learn cycle.
