Description

What really drives the growth of deeptech startups ? The Deeptech Dynamics 2026 study — led by CentraleSupélec, in collaboration with Bpifrance and supported by France Deeptech — explores how science-based startups actually scale. The research combines the analysis of more than 240 French deeptech ventures with over 40 in-depth interviews conducted with deeptech VC investors and founders of leading scale-ups. During this session, we will share the key findings of the study, highlighting structural patterns in capital intensity, industrialization pathways and scale-up dynamics across the deeptech landscape. These insights provide practical takeaways for investors, entrepreneurs, technology transfer offices and policymakers seeking to better understand the specific challenges of deeptech and strengthen Europe’s capacity to scale science-based innovation.
