Deep Tech Entrepreneurship: Energy, Climate & Bio-Innovation

The convergence of climate technology, clean energy innovation, and biotechnology is producing the next generation of transformative solutions—from advanced batteries and green hydrogen to synthetic biology, novel biomaterials, carbon capture, and precision agriculture. Deep Tech entrepreneurship requires strong scientific–technical literacy, regulatory understanding, commercialization skills, intellectual property strategy, fundraising readiness, and the ability to scale hardware-centric technologies. This domain prepares learners to build ventures at the intersection of science, engineering, and market innovation. It covers deep tech pathways in energy transition, climate adaptation/mitigation, carbon management, nature-positive innovation, industrial biotech, and circular materials. Participants learn prototype development, TRL frameworks, venture development, go-to-market strategy, deep tech finance, and regulatory navigation.
