The Deep Tech Maturity Index
A diagnostic built for
strategic clarity
The DTMI measures organizational readiness across three dimensions, giving you a structured baseline for investment, capability building, and commercialization decisions.
Strategy & Governance
Dimension 1Executive mandate, board-level awareness, and how deep tech is embedded in strategic planning cycles.
Operational & Investment Capacity
Dimension 2Budget structures, talent capabilities, procurement agility, and the operational processes to move from intent to execution.
Execution & Ambition
Dimension 3Active partnerships, pilot experience, ecosystem relationships, and the commercial ambition to convert pilots into outcomes.
The bottleneck
The bottleneck is not interest
European organizations have increasing awareness of deep tech. The failure point is structural: weak governance, fragmented budgets, procurement processes designed for commodity vendors, and pilots that never convert.
- Boardroom enthusiasm without executive accountability
- Innovation budgets competing against BAU without protection
- Procurement processes that cannot absorb frontier-tech suppliers
- Successful pilots failing to convert into commercial commitments
