Deep Tech Atelier: Interview with Dr. Anya Sharma on Baltic Innovation
As the Deep Tech Atelier of Baltic Knowledge Technology approaches, archyde News sits down with Dr. Anya Sharma, Chief Innovation Officer at BioPhotonics Solutions, to discuss the importance of the conference and the future of deep tech in the region.
Insights on the Upcoming Deep Tech Atelier
Archyde News: Dr. Sharma, thank you for joining us. The Deep Tech Atelier is just around the corner. What excites you most about this year’s event?
Dr.Anya Sharma: Thank you for having me. I’m particularly excited by the expanded focus on quantum technology and the increased emphasis on bridging the gap between research and real-world applications. Seeing the Latvian Space Association and the Riga Technical University so actively involved really underscores the commitment to pushing technological boundaries.
Archyde News: The event boasts a diverse range of attendees, from scientists to investors. How crucial is this mix for the success of deep tech ventures?
Dr. Anya Sharma: It’s absolutely critical. Deep tech requires a collaborative ecosystem. Scientists generate groundbreaking ideas,but those ideas need entrepreneurs to commercialize them,investors to fund them,and policymakers to create a supportive environment. The Deep Tech Atelier provides a unique forum for all these stakeholders to connect and collaborate.
Commercializing Innovation and Attracting Investment
archyde News: The Atelier highlights attracting investment and commercializing innovation. What are some key challenges and opportunities you see in these areas within the Baltic region?
Dr. Anya Sharma: One of the main challenges is scaling. We have brilliant minds and innovative startups, but often struggle to attract the large-scale investment needed to compete globally. The opportunity lies in leveraging the region’s strengths – its highly skilled workforce, its strategic location, and its proactive approach to adopting new technologies.Events like the Deep Tech Atelier are essential for showcasing these strengths to international investors.
Focus on Quantum Technology, AI, and Space technologies
Archyde news: The conference will delve into quantum technology, artificial intelligence, and space and defense technologies. Which of these areas do you believe holds the most promise for near-term impact?
Dr. Anya Sharma: That’s a tough question. Each area has tremendous potential. However, I think AI, particularly in the context of its submission to existing industries, offers the most immediate opportunities. We’re already seeing AI-powered solutions transforming sectors like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. Quantum technology, while incredibly promising, is still further down the road in terms of widespread adoption. Space and defense technologies are obviously vital for national security and infrastructure resilience but are often subject to complex regulatory frameworks and longer development cycles.
The Global Reach of the Deep Tech Atelier
Archyde News: Last year, the Atelier attracted participants from over 50 countries. Why is this international collaboration so important for the deep tech sector?
dr. Anya Sharma: deep tech challenges are often global challenges,requiring diverse perspectives and expertise. International collaboration allows us to pool resources, share knowledge, and accelerate innovation. It also opens up new markets for Baltic deep tech companies and helps them gain a competitive edge on the world stage.The involvement of organizations like CERN and OECD highlights this international drive.
A Thought-Provoking Question for Our Readers
Archyde News: Dr. Sharma, what is one piece of advice you would give to someone attending the Deep Tech Atelier for the first time?
Dr. Anya Sharma: Be open to new ideas and connections! Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and engage with people from different backgrounds and disciplines. The most valuable takeaways often come from unexpected conversations.
Archyde news: Thank you, Dr. Sharma, for these valuable insights. It has been a pleasure speaking with you.
Dr. Anya Sharma: My pleasure.
