The McKinsey report “European Deep Tech – Opportunities and Discoveries” (July 2024) debunks common myths about deep tech ventures. It highlights that failure rates are similar to traditional tech start-ups, exit timelines can be just as fast, and deep tech companies have strong scaling potential. Despite requiring high initial investments, they often become more capital-efficient over time. The report also notes that Europe’s share of global deep tech funding nearly doubled from 10% in 2019 to 19% in 2023.
The report “An Investor’s Guide to Deep Tech”, published by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in November 2023, highlights the growing importance of Deep Tech in addressing major global challenges such as climate change, food shortages, and diseases. It notes that venture capital investment in Deep Tech has remained stable at around 20% since 2019, up from about 10% a decade ago. Additionally, returns on these investments are comparable to those of traditional venture capital, despite requiring more capital and patience.
