Creating sustainable ecosystems in the rapidly evolving deep tech space involves much more than just technology improvements. To ensure long term success, it takes developing a collaborative culture and the correct mindset. In this blog post, we discuss how these frequently overlooked factors will significantly influence how deep tech develops in the future. When entrepreneurs and innovators adopt a growth-oriented approach, they’re more likely to embrace challenges and lead the way for groundbreaking discoveries. Developing an entrepreneurial mindset and culture as a foundational step is essential for creating a thriving ecosystem. A culture that values open communication, shared learning, and cross-industry partnerships creates ground for innovation to flourish. We also highlight the importance of collaboration between HEIs, industry, and government in accelerating this process. It’s only through this approach that we can address the challenges and use the full potential of deep tech.
