The climate tech startups still growing despite the funding slowdown
THE SO WHAT
Climate tech startups that are still growing through a funding slowdown are, by definition, closer to real unit economics or hard regulatory pull. If you’re in this category, now is the time to trade speed for durability—lock in long-term offtake, infrastructure partners, and non-dilutive capital while weaker peers are distracted.

Deep & Emerging TechPrinceton Digital Sees Strong Asia Data Center Demand
India, Australia, Japan, and South Korea emerging as AI data center hotspots means the gravity of compute—and therefore AI-native products—will tilt further toward these markets. If you operate in-region, treat power, land, and hyperscaler relationships as strategic inputs on par with talent and capital.
Deep & Emerging TechSK Hynix Profit Beat Adds Fuel to AI Rebound Trade
Memory vendors beating expectations are a direct readout on AI infra demand—HBM and related products are now macro drivers, not niche lines. If your roadmap depends on cheaper or more abundant AI compute, factor in that the capital markets are rewarding scarcity, not racing to commoditize it.
Deep & Emerging TechProxima Fusion signs two Japanese deals to build its fusion supply chain
Proxima Fusion locking in Japanese partners years before a plant runs shows fusion is shifting from physics experiment to industrial supply-chain problem. If you touch specialized materials, cryogenics, or high-power systems, there’s a window now to become a qualified supplier before fusion demand spikes.
Deep & Emerging TechIndustry insiders say PCBs and chip substrates are key supply constraints for consumer electronics makers as AI demand increasingly eats up production capacity
PCB and substrate bottlenecks show how AI demand is crowding out "mundane" components that the rest of electronics depends on. Hardware teams need to lock in multi-year supply and consider design-for-availability—your constraint may be a board house in Taiwan, not a GPU allocation from your cloud.
