  • Description: The flow of capital to deep-tech startups is rapidly becoming a torrent. From 2016 to 2020, annual investments in startups focused on commercializing emerging technologies such as biotechnology, robotics, and quantum computing grew in value from $15 billion to $60 billion worldwide, with the average private investment more than tripling in size. Deeptech corporate venturing (CV)--the second-largest source of this funding--grew from $5.1 billion in 2016 to $18.3 billion in 2020. The intent behind these deep-tech corporate investments is clear. In theory, deep-tech CV enables companies to quickly gain expertise in leading-edge technologies and pursue potentially disruptive innovations without building internal capabilities from scratch. In reality, however, such funding can come with high hurdles, such as time-to-market durations that often exceed five years, and the greater risk inherent to novel and complex technologies. Here, Siota and Prats discuss the barriers to success in deep-tech CV and the tactics that chief innovation officers can use to achieve more positive results.
