Deep-tech Keywords - EIT and Public report Thesauruses (2023)

These data were collected as part of a project to identify which factors contribute to facilitate the emergence of deep-tech startups in regions, using the entrepreneurial ecosystems framework.

To identify deep-tech startups in large dataset we created different thesauruses with keywords related to technologies considered deep-tech at the end of 2023, and we searched for such keywords (or combinations thereof, see more after) in the textual field available.

The keywords were collected from two different type of resources:
1) keywords from the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) taxonomy of deep-tech
2) keywords collected from PUBLIC resources working in the deep-tech field, such as reseach organizations, data providers, authors, and investors of the sector.
Link and sources are available in both files.

These thesauruses can be used as starting point for further improvements and refinements.
