How many deep tech companies are there?

As of May 2026, DeepTech.Intel tracks 263 deep tech companies across five frontier sectors: small modular reactors (66 companies), synthetic biology (55), quantum computing (52), humanoid robotics (47), and brain-computer interfaces (43). This count includes only companies with meaningful technical differentiation and documented funding or revenue — the actual number of startups and research groups working on deep tech is significantly larger, but many are pre-product or academic-only.

What are the biggest deep tech companies?

The largest deep tech companies by valuation or market cap include Tesla (Optimus Division) for humanoid robotics, Illumina for synthetic biology, IonQ and Rigetti for quantum computing (both publicly traded), and TerraPower and X-energy for small modular reactors. Among private companies, Figure AI ($2.25B+ raised), 1X Technologies ($10B valuation), Neuralink ($5B+ valuation in BCI), and PsiQuantum ($600M+ raised in quantum) are the most valuable. The sector leaders vary significantly by metric — revenue, valuation, technical capability, and deployment scale often point to different companies.

Which deep tech sectors are growing fastest?

Humanoid robotics is the fastest-growing deep tech sector by funding velocity, with more capital raised in 2025-2026 than the prior decade combined. The emergence of vision-language-action models (VLAs) has made general-purpose humanoid robots technically feasible for the first time, triggering a wave of $100M+ mega-rounds. Small modular reactors are growing fastest by deal size, driven by AI data center power demand. Quantum computing is approaching a critical inflection point as error correction thresholds improve, potentially triggering a new capital cycle. BCI is the earliest-stage sector but accelerating as Neuralink and Synchron demonstrate human implant safety.

BOTTOM LINE

The deep tech landscape in 2026 is defined by convergence. Humanoid robotics companies are becoming AI companies. Nuclear developers are becoming data center infrastructure providers. Quantum computing firms are building AI-specific algorithms. BCI companies are merging neuroscience with machine learning. And synthetic biology is increasingly driven by AI-designed molecules. Across 419 tracked companies and 6 sectors, the pattern is clear: the most valuable deep tech companies are those that sit at the intersection of physical science and artificial intelligence. The next decade will be defined not by any single sector, but by the companies that can bridge multiple frontier technologies into products that work in the real world.
