Developing: moderate readiness with structural gaps

Your organisation

Industry average

This is your perspective, not yet your organization's full picture. Invite colleagues for a multi-stakeholder diagnostic.

Assess readiness

Understand where your organization stands across seven diagnostic dimensions and a weighted composite score.

Benchmark capability

See how your readiness compares to sector and size-matched peers.

Turn diagnosis into action

Translate results into a concrete roadmap with executive support.

The Deep Tech Maturity Index

A diagnostic built for
strategic clarity

The DTMI measures readiness across seven dimensions on your results radar, from engagement mode and strategy through execution, ecosystem, and risk, plus a composite score and priority actions tied to your weakest area.

Explore the index → Take the assessment

Engagement Mode

Depth of involvement across five engagement modes: technology integration, venture client, corporate venture, R&D co-development, and public consortium programmes.

Strategy & Governance

Commercial hypotheses, executive sponsorship, board attention, and governance for deep tech in the corporate strategy cycle.

Investment & Resources

Ringfenced budget, financing visibility, and investment logic suited to multi-year frontier technology programmes.

Execution Competencies

Need definition, evaluation capability, time-to-engage, initiative management, and learning capture across engagements.

Operational Execution

Talent depth, pilot track record, procurement adaptability, and TRL practice for onboarding frontier suppliers.

Ecosystem & Partnerships

Structured relationships with startups, universities, corporates, and public programmes; partnership terms that work for frontier suppliers.

Risk & Ambition

Risk appetite for pre-commercial and cross-border work, commercial framing of returns, and ambition to scale beyond pilots.

Composite score is a weighted average across all seven dimensions; priority actions focus on your weakest.

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

After the assessment

What your results unlock

Your readiness score is the starting point, not the destination. Each result connects to a set of concrete next steps.

Benchmark context

See how your score compares to sector-matched peers and size-matched organizations. Identify where you are ahead and where structural gaps persist.

Capability gap diagnosis

See which of the seven dimensions lag, where engagement-mode depth may be misaligned, and what is driving the gaps.

Roadmap input

Receive a prioritized list of recommended actions aligned to your weakest dimensions, structured for executive review and board presentation.

Executive briefing access

High-scoring respondents are offered a tailored 45-minute briefing session to discuss findings, validate the diagnosis, and agree on intervention priorities.
