Deep Tech at Duke

Deep Tech at Duke is a partnership based in Durham, North Carolina, dedicated to exploring the transformative impact of cutting-edge technologies.

We bring together leaders in science, policy, and innovation to shape the future of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, semiconductors, renewable energy technology, and cybersecurity. Our mission is to foster multidisciplinary research and collaborations that support the development and understanding of these critical domains, recognizing their profound effects on economic security, technological leadership, and environmental sustainability.

Deep Tech at Duke leverages Duke University’s unique position as a world-leading academic institution within a state with strong ties to manufacturing, the military, and research labs. We are actively involved in initiatives like our partnership with OpenAI on metascience research and are committed to bridging the gap between scientific discovery and real-world impact. We are uniquely positioned to address the complex challenges and opportunities presented by the ongoing ‘reindustrialization’ process driven by these technologies.
