Bienvenue sur l'Institut Polytechnique de Paris

Last month, the French Tech Mission unveiled the seventh edition of the French Tech Next40/120, the flagship programme supporting France's fastest-growing technology companies. This year, 34 companies connected to Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) are among the 120 selected scale-ups. Founded, co-founded or led by alumni of the Institute's member schools, or supported by its incubators, they account for more than one quarter of the French Tech 120 (FT120) cohort. Of these, 17 have been selected for the Next40, representing more than one third of the companies in this category and highlighting the ability of the IP Paris ecosystem to nurture technology leaders with global ambitions.

With strong support from the Defence Innovation Agency, the Interdisciplinary Centre for Defence and Security Studies (CIEDS) and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Seas and Ocean (CIMO) are launching their new calls for proposals. The aim is to fund ambitious defence and security-oriented projects within the laboratories of Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris), with the possibility of working in collaboration with academic or industrial partners. Selected projects will commence in October 2027.

To support the development of its collaborations with the business world, the Institut Polytechnique de Paris is evolving its corporate partnership governance.
