Deep Tech

Japanese investment in European tech startups is surging, driven by confidence in Europe’s mature ecosystem and a strategic shift away from Silicon Valley. Since 2019, investments have exceeded 33 billion euros, a significant increase compared to the preceding years. Japanese corporations are particularly interested in deep tech ventures, providing capital and expertise in manufacturing and supply chains. While challenges like language barriers exist, the trend reflects a broader geopolitical strategy and the appeal of European entrepreneurs with experience in multinational corporations.

Nvidia joins the India Deep Tech Alliance (IDTA) as a founding member, committing to train and mentor Indian startups, leveraging its expertise in AI. This move aligns with a $2 billion commitment from private equity and venture capital investors to fuel deep tech companies in India. Nvidia will provide technical expertise through its Deep Learning Institute, focusing on AI model development and responsible deployment. India, supported by government initiatives and a growing AI market, is poised to become a global deep tech hub, hosting the AI Impact Summit next year.
