In the sense that they can have a lasting impact on our society, innovations resulting from “deeptech” (disruptive technologies in French) attract our full attention. What should we know about them? What are the latest trends in this area? We take stock. Deeptech: what is it? The term "deeptech" encompasses all breakthrough innovations , that is to say, which revolutionize our habits. These can relate to many fields, from global warming to the fight against cancer, via robotics, biology or even artificial intelligence. Projects and the resulting innovations generally require a long research and development (R&D) phase. Several decades ago, only large groups had enough means and resources to take an interest in “deeptech”. From now on, start-ups are also mobilizing to meet the challenges of tomorrow by offering products capable of lastingly transforming our lifestyles.
Zoom in on Bpifrance's investment The Generation Deeptech plan To help them emerge and become central players in innovation, Bpifrance, Banque Publique d'Investissement, launched the Deeptech Generation plan in early 2019 , accompanied by a dedicated support and financing system, taking into account the specificities of this type of project. The latter aims to double the number of "deeptech" start-ups by 2023 and to make France a world leader in this field. Various projects are currently supported by the COUNTRY EMAIL LIST business finance and development body, including more efficient satellites, natural biostimulants and herbicides, robot valets, personalized voice assistance devices using artificial intelligence… The Deeptech Tour As an extension of this plan, Bpifrance has even launched a national campus tour, the Deeptech Tour , in order to raise awareness among students, doctoral students, researchers and laboratories about the creation of start-ups that bring breakthrough innovation and have a strong societal impact.
A dedicated platform has also been created, the aim being to supplement existing awareness-raising mechanisms and to facilitate the journey of researchers and project leaders in the sector. News from the world of deeptech As part of the France 2030 program , the resources allocated to “deeptech” should be reinforced. As a reminder, this plan, endowed with 34 billion euros deployed over 5 years, aims to develop industrial competitiveness and future technologies. For its part, the Startups and industrial SMEs planshould mobilize, between 2022 and 2026, 2.3 billion euros through aid, loan and investment schemes, throughout the life of startups to enable them to industrialize their breakthrough innovations and eventually create 100 industrial sites per year. At the same time, "deeptech" startups in the fields of health and "greentech" (environmental technology in French) will benefit from multiple synergies through the Climate Plan and La French Care, the movement of health actors.
