About this event
Industrialization is one of the key turning points in the development of industrial deep-tech startups. Technology transfer, structuring of capital expenditures, balancing grants, equity, and debt, and access to European or bank financing: each decision has a lasting impact on the project’s trajectory.
On February 5 in Rennes, the Industrial Deep Tech Morning will bring together industrial entrepreneurs, investors, public funds, bankers, and innovation leaders for a half-day of discussions focused on the practical challenges of financing and scaling up to industrial levels.
The goal of this morning is to:
- clarify the milestones for industrial maturity,
- share feedback from the field,
- identify the major risks to avoid,
- and offer practical recommendations for successfully achieving industrialization and reindustrialization through deep tech.
Dynergie plays a central role in this, with contributions from Florence Caghassi-Jouni and Matthieu Rolland, alongside key players from the deep tech, financial, and institutional sectors.
