Deep-Tech Talent War Escalates Between Europe and North America

New Zeki Data Report Breaks Down Competition Within the Deep-Tech Ecosystem

LONDON, Sept. 24, 2024 /CNW/ — A new global report on deep-tech talent published by Zeki Data today reveals the US generates three times as many deep-tech companies as the UK, while small European startups have a much higher concentration of advanced-skilled talent than in North America.

The Deep-Tech Talent War: Europe vs. North America Showdown 2024 Report unravels the underlying trends in deep-tech between Europe and North America using talent as the lens. The report shows the dramatic slowing of new deep-tech companies since 2020.

Zeki Data, a UK-based deep-tech data company that scores the future potential of deep-tech companies to guide investment and talent acquisition, reveals in the report that countries are waking up to the need to attract and retain talent as a key to building sovereign capabilities in transformational technologies that will underpin the next phase of national prosperity and security.

“There is intense competition for the finite science and engineering talent that deep-tech companies need to advance their innovation ambitions,” said Tom Hurd, Zeki Data CEO and Co-Founder. “Governments are throwing money at deep-tech start-ups to secure an innovative advantage, but Zeki’s data shows there’s limited ROI amid countervailing winds of high capital costs and market consolidation.”

“Attracting and retaining the most innovative talent is the best indicator of future innovation potential for deep-tech companies,” Hurd added. “This should be the priority for countries and companies alike.”

The Deep Tech Talent War report focuses on the less studied evolution of the 6,100+ most important European and North American deep-tech companies and the strategic implications of their race to master new technologies. Zeki looked at the 8,795,902 people that the companies employ globally, particularly the 227,948 individuals with highly advanced skills.

KEY ZEKI DATA REPORT FINDINGS

1.  Government Investment Fails to Spur Startup Growth: New deep-tech company formation has slowed dramatically since 2020 in Europe and North America. Countries have made major financial investments to drive a greater pace of deep-tech innovation to no end. Countervailing winds of high capital costs and market consolidation have dampened the effect of government industrial policies.

2.  Magnificent 7 Prioritize Low-Cost Hires: Market consolidation driven by GenAI is driving dramatic hiring shifts across Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Deep-tech companies are favoring early-career, lower cost hires, and cutting higher-cost experience.

3.  American Startups Scale 2x Faster than European: Deep-tech startups in the United States are scaling twice as fast as European counterparts.

4.  Engineering Biology Companies Struggle to Scale: Engineering biology companies remain attractive acquisition targets as they struggle to grow to medium and large-sized businesses.

5.  Battery Technology has Imploded: Preceded by a green energy talent exodus that began in 2019, renewable energy has fallen out of favor with talent as demonstrated by hires rapidly exiting the sector since 2022.

6.  Software Engineering is All the Rage: Semiconductor, aerospace, and defence companies are battling it out for top software engineering talent, while much of the cybersecurity sector appears to be prioritizing sales over software talent.

7.  Chinese Talent Exits the West: At the country-level, the exodus of Chinese deep tech talent from Western companies is accelerating. China has firmly established itself as the destination of choice for Chinese talent leaving European and North American deep-tech companies.

Breaking Stereotypes: New 3Fun Survey Reveals Media’s Missteps in Polyamory Representation

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Despite growing visibility, only 11% of polyamorous individuals feel media portrayals align with their real-life experiences, according to a new survey by 3Fun, the leading dating app for open-minded singles and partners seeking like-minded connections. The survey, conducted among 1,312 3Fun users, highlights how media misrepresentation shapes public perceptions, reinforces stereotypes, and impacts user expectations on dating platforms like 3Fun.

Key Findings from the 3Fun Survey:

Limited Representation: Nearly 40% of respondents said they rarely see polyamorous relationships in mainstream media, while 17% reported never seeing them at all.Social Media Influence: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are driving perceptions of polyamory for 40% of users, far surpassing traditional media like TV and film (10%).Accuracy Issues: Only 11% of respondents described media portrayals as “very accurate,” while 52% rated them as “rarely accurate” or “completely inaccurate.”Mixed Progress: While 39% believe portrayals have improved, 38% said they’ve noticed no change at all.Normalization vs. Stereotypes: Social media is a double-edged sword—40% think it normalizes polyamory, but 34% believe it reinforces harmful stereotypes.Global vs. Local Media: Over 21% noted global media tends to be more open-minded about polyamory than local outlets, which are often conservative or avoid the topic altogether.

“The data from this survey shows how far we still have to go in achieving authentic representation of polyamory in media and pop culture,” said Max Ma, Founder and CEO of 3Fun. “These portrayals don’t just shape public opinion—they directly influence how our users feel about their relationships and their ability to live openly. At 3Fun, we’re dedicated to creating a supportive community where everyone can explore their desires without fear of judgment.”

The Real Impact of Misrepresentation

Nearly half of respondents (47%) identified cultural and societal norms as the biggest barriers to societal acceptance of polyamory—more significant than concerns about media portrayal or visibility. However, respondents emphasized that better representation would lead to:

Easier conversations about polyamory (32%)Improved understanding within their social circles (21%)

Gigi Engle, certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and 3Fun’s resident intimacy expert, echoed this sentiment: “Representation matters. Media has the power to normalize relationships and dismantle stereotypes, but only when done thoughtfully. This survey shows a clear need for creators to approach polyamory with authenticity and care.”

Creating a World Where Love Knows No Limits

The findings highlight the role platforms like 3Fun play in bridging the gap between perception and reality. With over 10 million downloads and 3 million verified active users worldwide, 3Fun provides a safe, inclusive space for polyamorous individuals and couples to connect, explore, and thrive.
