Title Deep Tech Market Research
Summary This document aims to identify potential investments in Deep Tech companies, providing with the proper background of the sector, analyzing the specifics of each company, and the viability of the project. Even though there is a lot of potential in these companies, there are also many other aspects to consider; they are often very intensive in capital, and they need of economies of scale to be profitable, which can lead to long break-even periods and uncertain outcomes. On the other hand, the current panorama, and the excess of liquidity in the financial market can make these opportunities more attractive than they are, with high valuations for companies that are full of promises but that have little or no real possibilities to prosper. Also, it is worth considering the regulatory framework in Central & Eastern Europe, since while most of the countries in this area are under the European legal framework, others have unclear guidelines when it comes to data protection or artificial intelligence, and some countries have implemented policies that have helped to create a proper environment for these companies to grow, benefiting not only from tax benefits or clear regulation, but also from the exchange of knowledge in a symbiotic ecosystem.
