DEEPTECH
Transforming Cutting-Edge Research into Sustainable Competitive Advantages
Between 2025 and 2030, deeptech is emerging as a strategic driver of breakthrough innovation, at the heart of challenges related to technological sovereignty, industrial competitiveness, and the ecological transition. Built on major scientific advances (advanced AI, quantum technologies, new materials, biotechnologies, photonics, robotics), deeptech requires a long-term perspective, patient capital, and well-structured ecosystems.
France and India show strong complementarities: scientific excellence, high-level research, and engineering expertise on the French side; industrialisation capacity, scalability, and rapid deployment on the Indian side. The 2025–2030 period is decisive for transforming deep innovation into global industrial and commercial solutions.
La France et l’Inde présentent une complémentarité forte : excellence scientifique, recherche et ingénierie de haut niveau côté français ; capacité d’industrialisation, de montée à l’échelle et de déploiement rapide côté indien. La période 2025–2030 est décisive pour transformer l’innovation profonde en solutions industrielles et commerciales globales.

FIBC Perspective
Deeptech represents a strategic axis of France–India cooperation, requiring a structured framework, a long-term vision, and committed partners. Value is created through the ability to connect research, industry, capital, and markets, beyond purely national approaches.
FIBC positions itself as a platform for structuring and facilitating connections, enabling:
-
links between researchers, entrepreneurs, industrial players, and investors,
-
the emergence of bilateral technology partnerships,
-
the transformation of deep innovation into concrete and sustainable industrial projects.
By supporting these dynamics, FIBC contributes to making deeptech a lever for sovereignty, growth, and international influence within the France–India corridor.
