Everything Deep Tech.

Funding technological innovations to create a better future.

Who can apply?

Technical founders and dedicated teams working on unique or protectable Deep Tech innovations, in any of the subcategories and fields detailed below.

At what stage?

We exclusively focus on startups that (almost) achieved technical proof of concept as we believe we can add the most value in this stage.

Other criteria?

We look for innovations addressing an existing problem with economic added value, and a clear path towards follow-on investment or early exit.

Chemical Technologies

Chemical
Technologies

Chemical technologies are used in the conversion processes of raw materials into products. Product functionality is primarily determined by structure and composition.

  • Process technology, including process intensification
  • (Advanced) Reactor engineering
  • Separation technology
  • Catalysis
  • Analytical technologies
  • Electricity-driven chemical reaction technologies
Nanotechnologies

Nanotechnologies

Nanotechnology works with phenomena at the nanoscale, that is, approximately 1 to 100 nanometers and with high precision.

  • Nanomanufacturing
  • Nanomaterials
  • Functional devices and structures (on nanoscale)
  • Micro- and nanofluidics
  • Nanobiotechnology / Bionanotechnology
Quantum Technologies

Quantum
Technologies

Quantum technologies exploit the dual nature of the smallest particles we know, such as photons and electrons, but also of similar systems that exhibit quantum properties.

  • Quantum computing
  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum sensing
Advanced Materials

Advanced
Materials

Advanced materials have mechanical, physical and functional properties that determine (new, revolutionary) applications and functionalities of products.

  • Energy materials
  • Optical, electronic, magnetic and nanomechanical materials
  • Meta materials
  • Soft/bio materials
  • Thin films and coatings
  • Construction and structural materials
