Abstract
This report, focused on deep tech entrepreneurship in Europe and the crucial role of Research and Technology Organizations (RTOs) in fostering impactful industrial spin-offs, aims to explore the role that deep tech spin-offs and RTOs, through their Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), play in driving innovation, creating different types of impact including the creation of new value chains, and addressing the high-risk nature of technology commercialization. One of the core objectives of this study is to analyse the challenges and opportunities that deep tech spin-offs face, particularly in terms of team creation and evolution over time, as well as their challenges in attracting talents, and analysing the types of impact generated by industrial deep tech spin-offs.The study methodology includes a comprehensive literature review, a wide stakeholder consultation, data collection from 29 TTO Circle member organizations and 49 of their most impactful industrial deep tech spinoffs, data analysis, synthesis, and recommendations. These recommendations are further validated through stakeholder feedback obtained during validation meetings and webinars.This study, therefore, provides a roadmap for how deep tech entrepreneurship can drive Europe’s economic renewal, directly addressing the concerns and recommendations of the Draghi report, and offering concrete strategies to ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of global innovation.
