In deep tech and defense innovation, many promising technologies fall into the 'Valley of Death', not because the prototype was flawed, but because there was no strategic plan for industrialization. Moving from a functional prototype to a deployable and high-volume capability requires solving a completely different set of challenges: ❌ Scaling past hand-built and bespoke assembly ❌ Designing for complex defense certifications from day one ❌ Building a resilient, geo-independent supply chain If your production floor isn’t set up to support your innovation, scaling will break it. Once you pass the prototype phase, your production process is the innovation. Swipe through the carousel to see the three major scaling bottlenecks and how to shift your strategic mindset to overcome them. ➡️ Read the full insight for our complete framework on industrializing dual-use tech. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAfeX6J4 #DualUse #DeepTech #Industrialization
