Pilot the Change
We all know that more can be done to build a vibrant and diverse STEM community. This is especially true in DeepTech when it comes to under-represented social, educational and gender groups.
Some Facts
Together we can change this!
1
Inequality of Opportunities
A person from a lower socio-economic class will have 30% fewer opportunities to enter the digital professions.
2
Inclusion Bias
Tech companies with all-male founding teams receive 93% of the capital invested by VC and account for 85% of deals. 5% of capital goes to mixed teams and only 2% to all-female teams.
All things equal, all-male teams raise approximately €4m more than teams with at least one woman.

The 4 Deep Tech Pillars
Our focus on Deep Tech Technologies is centred on four Deep Tech pillars adopted by other Women in Tech.
Deep Talent
At the heart of Deep Talent is the core value that technical competence and talent matters. Ne互tUp aims to maximize the chances for Deep Talent to meet Tangible Opportunities everywhere, but particularly in Asia.
Deep Impact
Deep Tech by its nature aims to solve complex problems using novel solutions. Ne互tUp aims to connect people of excellence directly to real-world problems, so that Deep Impact can be felt by those who need it.
Deep Thinking
Deep Tech is usually highly complex, and multifactory skills are needed to bring research solutions into unchartered territories. Ne互tUp aims to encourage Deep Thinking in Tech, by connecting people, ecosystems, and governments
Deep Collaboration
Ne互tUp is a unique movement that brings together startups, investors, policymakers and community builders. Our program aims to foster Deep collaboration by building on individual initiatives, highlighting worthy projects, and creating a snowball effect of Deep Collaboration amongst global citizens.

Empowerment for all. That's the goal of Ne互tUp.
Through education and the sharing of resources, Ne互tUp helps entrepreneurs strive for a more innovative and equitable future for all.
