Artificial Intelligence
With the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the past year marked the rise of “generative AI,” triggering the largest hype wave in the field of AI technology. For the Deep Tech Award 2024, we are not only seeking innovative solutions and products in the field of generative AI but are casting a wider net over the entire field of machine learning. This includes Deep Learning, image and pattern recognition systems in the healthcare sector, applications of Natural Language Processing in business process optimization, and Predictive Maintenance in industrial facilities. We want to see the AI solutions and products that you want to launch from Berlin and take to the world.
Photonics and Quantum Technologies
Supercomputing, powerful and highly sensitive sensors, or secure communication: controlling quantum properties and light can change the world. We are looking for innovative ideas, concepts, and products in both hardware and software in the fields of quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communication, and photonics that confront current challenges and have the potential to shape the future.
Robotics
Make a mark from the fascinating world of robotics, an industry that not only moves machines but revolutionizes entire sectors. We are looking for groundbreaking ideas and products that expand the boundaries of automation. From intelligent robotic systems that work with precision and efficiency to collaborative robotics solutions that interact harmoniously with human workers – your innovations should capture the attention of industrial users and competitors alike. Robotics is a central part of digital transformation, and we want to understand how your solutions increase production efficiency, revolutionize the workplace, and set new standards for intelligent automation processes. Whether in manufacturing, healthcare, or logistics – your innovations should pave the way to the future. Seize the momentum and contribute to bringing the strength of the Berlin robotics scene to the world!
Social & Sustainable Impact
In the Social & Sustainable Impact category, we are looking for technical innovations that have a positive impact on individuals, our society, and/or the environment/climate. This cross-cutting category of the Deep Tech Awards rewards the combination of innovative technology with social and/or environmental impact. If your Deep Tech solution opens up new treatment possibilities in the healthcare sector, contributes to improving the care of humans, animals, and plants, brings us closer to achieving climate goals, or if you can present a solution with sustainable and/or social impact that we haven’t even thought of yet, then your solution is just right for this category!
Web3 – DLT, NFT & Metaverse
The blockchain is dead! Long live the blockchain! In recent years, jubilations and obituaries of decentralized technologies have followed closely. Promises range from the end of the monetary system as we know it to new digital worlds; however, the reality is different at the moment. We are not looking for flashy marketing promises but are searching for innovations in the fields of Web3 – DLT, NFT & Metaverse that intelligently solve existing problems and/or lay the foundations for advancing digital decentralized worlds.
