DemoDay IP Paris 2026: connecting IP Paris startups with investors
A startup lineup to discover on the day
For this new edition, IP Paris is keeping the lineup under wraps: the participating startups will be revealed on the day of the event, giving guests a first look at the projects and technologies on show.
Selected from X-UP, Incubateur Télécom Paris, IMT Starter, ENSTARTUPS and Ponts Alumni, these companies reflect the breadth of innovation supported by these organisations. They include ventures addressing challenges in strategic sectors such as MedTech, cybersecurity, GreenTech, industry and defense.
An afternoon of pitches and connections
On November 24, entrepreneurs will take to the stage with one challenge: to present their project, technology and ambitions in just one minute.
Organised into two sessions, these pitches will help attending investors—including business angels, venture capital (VC) funds, corporate venture capital (CVC) funds and family offices—identify projects aligned with their interests and investment strategies.
Conversations will then continue through one-to-one meetings in a dedicated space, allowing participants to explore potential collaborations and funding opportunities in greater depth.
A meeting point at the heart of French technological innovation
Beyond the opportunities it creates for entrepreneurs, DemoDay reflects IP Paris’s commitment to innovation, entrepreneurship and turning scientific and technological advances into high-potential companies.
Results achieved in 2026 highlight this momentum: 17 of the 40 companies in the French Tech Next40 and 34 of the 120 companies in the French Tech Next40/120 originated from IP Paris. Meanwhile, eight projects linked to the Institute were recognised in the French government’s i-PhD and i-Lab innovation competitions, including three Grand Prix winners.
These distinctions demonstrate the ability of IP Paris’s schools and incubators to support innovative ventures from their earliest stages through to large-scale growth.
For investors, DemoDay offers a valuable opportunity to identify promising technology ventures early in their growth journey, meet their founders and discover innovations with the potential to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurial success stories.
