Software solution based on Artificial Intelligence algorithms for the validation of critical embedded software.
Deeptek Gipuzkoa Fundazioa was born from the collaboration between the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and Kutxa Fundazioa, with the aim of contributing to the development of the Deep tech sector. The mission is to identify business initiatives in this field and support them on their path to market through the provision of financial resources.
The importance of the Deep tech sector in a competitive, knowledge-based economy is increasingly relevant due to the deep tech transversality. These include aspects such as quantum computing, the development of new materials, artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms applied to strategic sectors, robotics, new therapeutic mechanisms, diagnostic tools, biotechnology-based industrial production processes, new medical equipment and ICT tools, and clean energy and technologies applied to the field of Deep tech.
Deeptek Gipuzkoa Fundazioa has decided to promote a financial instrument to support business projects in the deep tech sector. This will enable the companies that benefit from the funding to evolve and mature sufficiently so that, within an estimated time of two years, their activities can better compete in the market and attract private investment that will help them significantly accelerate their growth in the future.
To promote the creation of new business projects in this field, which will generate quality employment in the region and contribute to people’s well-being, the foundation has, in addition to the Board, BIC Gipuzkoa as its operational body. It also has committees of external experts responsible for evaluating projects from different perspectives:
Contribute to the development of the Deep tech sector in Gipuzkoa
Promote a culture that fosters excellence in business development
Support the development of high-impact business initiatives
Encourage entrepreneurship in the Deep tech sector
Enable the launching of new business opportunities
If you have a high-impact Deep tech business project, this is your opportunity to boost it. DeepTek Gipuzkoa Fundazioa offers support through its Funding Program, providing with the necessary resources to accelerate startups´ development. The goal is that accompanied start ups generate enough value within two years to attract additional private funding.
To ensure start ups viability, each initiative will be thoroughly evaluated by expert and Investment Committees. Finally, the Foundation’s Board will determine the funding allocation, which may reach up to €350,000 in the form of Convertible loan. The release of funds will be subject to the fulfillment of milestones previously established in the evaluation.
The costs associated with project development may be financed, generally up to 70%, with a total maximum for each approved project of €350,000.
As a general rule, the funding granted to each approved project will be distributed as follows:
