VENTURE DEEPTECH

Deeptech: Building the industry of tomorrow

At Audacia, we see investing in Deep Tech as more than just a financial investment. It’s about identifying pioneers of emerging technologies and helping them grow into the global leaders of tomorrow.

Deeptech is distinguished by its projects from the best research laboratories in the world, involving sometimes long technological development phases, in order to transform scientific advances into marketable products.

Investing in these companies today means becoming a shareholder in the leaders of tomorrow.

We are committed to supporting these innovations while building lasting partnerships with visionary entrepreneurs.

At the forefront of science and engineering

Deeptech, at the forefront of science and engineering, develops innovations such as quantum computing, AI, space technologies, and carbon-free energy. These projects address crucial health and energy challenges. Audacia supports these future technologies by providing financial resources and expertise to entrepreneurs in these fields.

Commitment to social and environmental responsibility

Today’s challenges require Deeptech projects to not only innovate, but also lead the way in sustainability and social responsibility. Audacia recognizes the environmental and societal impacts of new technologies. That’s why our investment decisions are guided by a strong ESG framework, ensuring that the technologies we support contribute to a better future for all.
