So, what is deep tech anyway?

The term ‘deep tech’ was coined in 2014 by Swati Chaturvedi to define a new category of startups that are built on tangible scientific discoveries, and which have the ability to disrupt several markets. Here at Opus USask, we define deep tech as research-backed innovations with the potential for proprietary IP.

At Opus USask, we are honoured to be a part of the unique success stories of our deep tech innovators who are developing novel solutions to global problems.
