Definition of Deep Tech

Deep tech companies build products on substantial scientific or engineering breakthroughs, not just new business models or software on existing technology. Their edge comes from hard-to-replicate research and IP in areas like AI, robotics, space, quantum, semiconductors, energy, advanced materials and biotech. That usually means longer development timelines, more capital before revenue, and the potential to reshape whole industries.

I see a few non-European companies on here, why?

There are some companies such as Loft Orbital which were founded in places like San Francisco, but maintain a large office in Europe, such as Loft's Toulouse location.
