The Deputy Directorate General for Research and Innovation (DGARI) came to meet with startups from the Arts et Métiers incubator.
Bringing entrepreneurship and research together
On July 2, 2024, the Paris campus library hosted the second edition of the Boost Incubator event. The aim of this morning of discussions between startups and the DGARI (Deputy Directorate General for Research and Innovation) was to identify possible interactions with scientific teams in the laboratories.
Discussions and the implementation of concrete actions
Each startup was given dedicated time to present its project, activities, and scientific challenges. Participants then exchanged ideas with DGARI members and entrepreneurship advisors from different campuses. The startups were able to answer questions about their services and products, receive advice, and learn about the scope of the laboratories corresponding to the theme of their activities. Following this meeting, contacts will be made to strengthen synergies between the startups, the laboratories, and the institution's research ecosystem.
