They leverage advanced technologies rooted in scientific disciplines such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, biotechnology, nanotechnology, robotics, quantum computing, and more. These technologies often represent significant scientific breakthroughs and have the potential to disrupt industries and solve complex problems. But the underlying assumption is usually that no one has done it before, with all the grey areas that entails.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember51\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\">Going from a laboratory proof-of-concept to an industrialized product, and then to a first manufacturing unit, poses major regulatory, technical and financial challenges.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Technical: <\/strong>they work on technologies that have never been developed before.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial: <\/strong>investors&#8217; reluctance to invest in these long-term tech projects is a reality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regulatory: <\/strong>it&#8217;s essential to anticipate these issues at an early stage, and often the startups concerned don&#8217;t have the necessary hindsight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"ember53\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\">All these problems are condensed in the valley of death phase, also known as industrialization.
