Deep Tech grants worldwide
Deep tech grants fund hardware-intensive innovations: quantum computing, advanced materials, semiconductors, robotics, energy storage, and biotech platforms. Unlike software-focused programs, deep tech grants typically support multi-year R&D with substantial capital — often $1M-$30M+ — to address inherent technical risk and long development cycles. Major sources include EIC Accelerator, US SBIR/DARPA, EU Chips Act, EUDIS, and UK Future Fund: Breakthrough.
What deep tech grants fund
Quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography, semiconductor design and fabrication, advanced materials including graphene and 2D materials, robotics and autonomous systems, energy storage breakthroughs, gene editing platforms, photonics and optical computing, neuromorphic computing, advanced manufacturing, and dual-use defense technologies.
