Persistent barriers—like narrow market focus, rapid innovation cycles, and tight funding are stalling your growth. Without clear goals, the right resources, and strong accountability, these obstacles cut into profits and slow you down. Meanwhile, Deep Tech innovations like Quantum Computing and Nanorobotics drive industry change, solve major challenges, and attract unprecedented investment. According to Dealroom, EU venture capital funding in Deep Tech surged from 10% in 2019 to 44% in 2023, with over [$16 billion](https://dealroom.co/guides/deep-tech-europe) invested that year alone, highlighting the sector’s resilience and growth potential.

The speakers examined the key challenges in bridging the gap between the lab and market, discussed practical strategies for scaling innovation, and provided a vision for 2030 and the necessary steps to achieve it.   #### THE TRENDS AND CHALLENGES PREVENTING TECH TRANSFER ## Multiple barriers stand in the way of transformative corporate innovation Global R&D spending reached a record high of [US$1.7 trillion in 2023](https://uis.unesco.org/apps/visualisations/research-and-development-spending/#), resulting in around [3 million patent filings](https://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/articles/2023/article_0013.html) - [199,000 of those from inside the EU](https://www.epo.org/en/news-events/news/innovation-digital-and-clean-energy-technologies-boosts-demand-patents-europe-2023#). The goal of investment should be to develop new technologies commercialized into profitable ventures. However there are challenges preventing the commercialization of intellectual property (IP) spanning technical, financial, regulatory and market domains. These stem from the fundamental nature of deep tech innovation, which often demands groundbreaking scientific advances and long development timelines.   ![Scaling and technical risks | Deep Tech Transfer | Stryber](https://resources.stryber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Deep%20Tech%20Page/Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(2).png?width=801&height=801&name=Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(2).png) SCALING AND TECHNICAL RISKS ### Huge complexity Achieving a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and moving from lab to prototype to scalable, reliable product is a fundamental hurdle including engineering. system integration, and ensuring consistent performance at scale. ![Funding and Capital | Deep Tech Transfer | Stryber](https://resources.stryber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Deep%20Tech%20Page/Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(4).png?width=801&height=801&name=Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(4).png) Funding and capital ### Specialized investors Deep tech ventures typically require sustained investment over long periods. Securing funding is complicated by perceived risk, long timelines to market, and the need for specialized investors who understand the technology and its potential. ![Deep Tech Icon (5)](https://resources.stryber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Deep%20Tech%20Page/Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(5).png?width=801&height=801&name=Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(5).png) regulation and compliance ### Evolving landscape Navigating complex and changing regulations, securing certifications, and managing intellectual property protection are major obstacles for deep tech startups - especially in sectors like healthcare, energy, and advanced manufacturing. ![Deep Tech Icon (3)](https://resources.stryber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Deep%20Tech%20Page/Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(3).png?width=801&height=801&name=Deep%20Tech%20Icon%20(3).png) market fit & commercial strategy ### Proving the value Identifying the right market segments, validating product-market fit, and developing compelling value propositions are critical.
