Arm-backed accelerator Deeptech Labs has unveiled its inaugural cohort of startups and its CEO has explained what he really means when he talks about deeptech. Deeptech is a catch-all phrase that has been around in the technology sector for decades. Usually, it refers to startups innovating to solve considerable scientific or engineering challenges. The generic term has in the past included everything from artificial intelligence (AI) and biotech to quantum computing and robotics. Just like with AI and blockchain, startups often use deeptech as a buzzword when trying to drum up fresh capital.
