WHAT WE DO
From promising technology to informed decisions
We help clients answer the critical questions behind technology development and investment. Deeptech creates value only when scientific performance, market demand, industrial feasibility and economics converge:
This is the common analytical foundation behind our work with investors, ventures and organizations.
OUR SERVICES
Decide where to invest and why
For investors, corporations and organizations building or refining a deeptech investment strategy.
We start with the investment mandate and identify the technology areas, industrial problems, and value-chain opportunities where capital can create the greatest value.
Explore full service →Understand what you are really investing in
For investors evaluating a deeptech company before making an investment decision.
We independently test the technical and commercial assumptions behind the investment case.
Explore full service →Prepare a deeptech company for serious investor scrutiny
For science-based ventures preparing to raise capital.
A strong technology does not automatically create an investable company. Investors need evidence that the company can move from today’s development stage to a commercially and industrially viable business.
Explore full service →Find technologies that can solve real industrial and market problems
For corporations and organizations looking for new technologies, R&D directions or growth opportunities.
We begin with the problem: an unmet customer need, product limitation, manufacturing constraint, strategic objective or industrial challenge.
We translate that problem into technical requirements and search globally for technologies capable of solving it.
Explore full service →Build companies around problems worth solving
For regions, institutions, research organizations and industry partners seeking to create new deeptech ventures.
We identify relevant industrial and societal problems, connect them with scientific capabilities and entrepreneurial talent, and develop the strongest combinations into new companies.
Explore full service →Build a visual identity that makes complex innovation clear
For science-based ventures, investors, corporations and organizations looking for a distinctive and credible identity.
We translate complex technologies, strategic positioning and ambition into a clear visual system designed to communicate consistently with investors, partners, customers and teams.

We evaluate DeepTech as a system
Technology readiness alone is not enough.
A technology may work scientifically and still fail because it cannot be manufactured economically, requires unavailable raw materials, cannot comply with regulation, does not solve an important customer problem or requires more capital than the market opportunity can support.
Our work therefore connects the disciplines that determine whether deeptech succeeds:
OUR FOCUS
Deeptech with economic and planetary relevance
We focus primarily on technologies operating in physical and industrial systems where successful innovation can create both economic value and measurable improvements in the use of resources.
Our work spans areas including:
- Advanced materials
- Energy
- Industrial and advanced manufacturing
- Construction and infrastructure
- Agriculture and food
- Biotechnology and biomanufacturing
- Mobility and transportation
- Water
- Circular industrial systems
- Climate adaptation and resilience
We are particularly interested in technologies that can improve productivity, resource efficiency, resilience and industrial competitiveness while reducing environmental impact.
HOW WE WORK
Evidence before opinion
Our work combines first-principles technical analysis with market and industrial evidence.
Depending on the assignment, this can include:
- Scientific literature review
- Patent analysis
- Technology benchmarking
- Expert interviews
- Customer and industry interviews
- Competitor analysis
- Techno-economic modelling
- Market and value-chain analysis
- Manufacturing and scale-up assessment
- Startup and ecosystem scouting
- Regulatory and policy analysis
The objective is to reduce uncertainty enough to make a decision—not to produce analysis for its own sake.
Facing a deeptech decision?
Whether you are deciding where to invest, evaluating a company, preparing a venture for fundraising or searching for a technology to solve an industrial problem, we can help determine what is viable and what needs to happen next.
