How deep-tech gets funded

R&D tax credits, innovation grants, IP, and the companies turning hard science into products.

R&D funding, by country

Where the money for hard tech actually comes from

R&D tax credits, grants, and innovation programs differ in every jurisdiction — SR&ED in Canada, R&D Tax Relief in the UK, the Section 41 credit in the US, the CIR in France. We map how each one works for research-intensive companies.

Funded companies

Who got funded, and how

Profiles of deep-tech companies and the funding behind them — grants, government programs, venture capital, and R&D tax credits. Verifiable, sourced, and built to show how real teams finance hard science.

IP, regulation & policy

Protecting and governing deep-tech

Patents, freedom-to-operate, and the regulation of emerging technology — continuing the work NanoLab has covered since its days as the journal of nanotechnology law and business. Explore the [NLB journal archive](/journal) and the [NanoLab archive](/archive).
