Sixteen IP Paris startups at Spring 2024

16 startups from Institut Polytechnique de Paris have been selected for the 2024 edition of Paris-Saclay Spring 50, the innovation and entrepreneurship show. They were created thanks to one of IP Paris' three incubators, and/or were founded by an alumnus of one of the Institute's five member engineering schools: École polytechnique, ENSTA Paris, ENSAE Paris, Télécom Paris and Télécom SudParis. 

Their large presence at this event, which takes place on May 16 and 17 on the HEC Paris campus, proves the effectiveness and success of IP Paris ecosystem: three incubators, Drahi-X Novation Center, Incubateur Télécom Paris and IMT Starter, dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs in their economic, societal and environmental innovation projects, in which startups emerge and develop.

These 16 startups are active in one of the five strategic sectors selected for this year's event: CleanTech (sustainable development, environment, clean energy, recycling...), FoodTech (agtech, food products, nutrition, BtoC, BtoB services...), Health-BioTech (biotechnology, pharmacy, chemistry, e-health, medtech, well-being, silver economy...), DigitalTech (software, AI, quantum, cybersecurity, blockchain, 5G, AR-VR...), Industry & Services (technologies, services for industry 4. 0, manufacturing, robotics...)

For two days, their founders will have the opportunity to interact with investors, researchers, R&D and innovation managers, take part in round-table meetings and workshops, and visit private and public laboratories on the Saclay plateau.

Three of IP Paris' six interdisciplinary centers will also be represented at Paris-Saclay Spring 50: CIEDS (Interdisciplinary Centre for Defence and Security) , E4H (Engineering for Health) andHI! Paris (Interdisciplinary Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis).

The Paris-Saclay science and technology cluster represents 15% of national research and 40% of public and private research jobs in the Paris region. It is one of the eight most powerful innovation clusters in the world.
