Corporate Innovation Summit’s Post

Kicking off the Corporate Innovation Summit 2024 in Bangkok with my keynote on "The State of Global Deep Tech" was a moment to reflect on the transformative potential of deep tech—and why TDK Ventures is committed to backing the trailblazers in this space. I shared how our First Principles-Based Investment Thesis (FIT Method) guides us to invest in cutting-edge startups poised to revolutionize industries—pioneers like those in our portfolio: 🚁 AutoFlight, reshaping mobility with eVTOL technology, making efficient and accessible aerial transport a reality. ♻️ Ascend Elements, driving sustainability with groundbreaking battery recycling solutions that address critical supply chain challenges through a zero-waste, closed-loop process. ⚡️ Peak Energy, revolutionizing energy storage with scalable and eco-friendly sodium-ion batteries. 🌟 Type One Energy, pushing the frontiers of fusion with stellarator technology, aiming to unlock limitless, cleaner energy. These companies are redefining how we think about deep tech's role in society. My keynote emphasized why deep tech investment is more than just capital—it's about long-term partnerships with “Impact Scalers” to shape a shared, transformative vision of the future. I'm excited to see even more groundbreaking collaborations take shape as we venture further into these uncharted waters.
