As the Internet Economy enters its next stage of maturity, the new frontier will be science-based deep tech. Europe, with a very strong science base, has a natural advantage in this new frontier. Will this allow it to become a global player creating deep tech unicorns or will it continue to lag behind the United States and China? This panel will explore what policies lead to innovation and whether creating these unicorn companies should always be the end goal.
