Mentor: Hugo Hubert – Venture Capital Principal at Omnes Capital
What does the future of deep tech look like—and how can investors position themselves to seize the biggest opportunities? In this forward-looking workshop, Hugo Hubert, Venture Capital Principal at Omnes Capital, guided participants through the trends, technologies, and strategies shaping tomorrow’s investment landscape.
Designed for investors who wanted a sharper edge in evaluating emerging opportunities, this session unpacked the breakthrough technologies with the highest ROI potential—from AI/ML and quantum computing to synthetic biology, advanced robotics, and next-gen energy storage. Participants learned how convergence opportunities (like AI + biotech or robotics + IoT) can unlock entirely new markets and transform industries ranging from healthcare and energy to agriculture and logistics.
The workshop also demystified market readiness and adoption timing using the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) framework, helping investors judge when a technology is ripe for commercialization. Risk assessment is central to the session, with a clear-eyed look at technical, regulatory, and market risks—and how to mitigate them. Participants also explored how to integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles into investment strategies without compromising returns.
