The Podcast by DynergieDeep In Tech

Deep In Tech gives a voice to those on the front lines, where science and business intersect

to shape the future

Manifesto

Deep in Tech is based on a firm belief: to understand deep tech, you have to listen to the people who are building it.

Behind every disruptive innovation lie demanding journeys, difficult trade-offs, and successes that often go unrecognized.

The podcast gives a voice to entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and industry leaders at the intersection of science and the market.


At the heart of the challenges facing the Deeptech ecosystem, Deep in Tech
offers a behind-the-scenes look at a world that is as complex as it is strategic. Industrialization, financing, the transition from lab to market…

These journeys, often fraught with obstacles, are recounted candidly by those who experience them firsthand.

The podcast offers an authentic look at the inner workings, tensions, and collaborations that shape both the successes and failures of French Deeptech.

A space to understand the reality on the ground, from the perspective of those involved, far from formulaic narratives.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about deep tech.

Why is the government investing so much in deep tech?

France is investing heavily in deep tech for three main reasons: national sovereignty, reindustrialization, and the green transition. These technologies enable the country to maintain its strategic independence in key sectors (vaccines, semiconductors, defense, and energy), revitalize its industry with next-generation factories, and prepare for a sustainable future.

"What is the difference between 'Tech' and 'Deeptech'?"

"Tech" often refers to digital technologies that involve market risk, where the main question is, "Is there a market?" Deep tech, on the other hand, involves technological risk, with a different question: "Will it work?" Deep tech technologies and startups require significantly more time and money before they can hope to have a product to sell and make it through the “Valley of Death.”

What is deep tech?

"Deep tech" refers to a broad range of disruptive technologies that bring about a profound paradigm shift by overcoming one or more technological barriers. Often originating in research laboratories and driven by so-called "deep tech" startups, it tackles complex problems in fields such as healthcare, climate, and energy.

What is the TRL (Technology Readiness Level) scale?

Originally used by NASA and now widely accepted as a standard for measuring technology readiness, the TRL scale consists of 9 levels:

TRL 1–3: Research that is still in the conceptual or laboratory stage

TRL 4–6: Prototype, which is being tested to demonstrate proof of concept

TRL 7–9: Commercialization and sale of the technology
