Anova Workshop: Today, many materials generated by businesses are still being thrown away or underutilized, even though they represent a valuable resource for creativity.

Atelier Anova is a research and design studio that repurposes these hard material scraps to create custom furniture and objects. By working in a “closed-loop” process, Atelier Anova transforms these materials into one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by traditional crafts such as mosaics and marquetry, thereby extending their value and identity.

CAP MED: In hospitals, the steady rise in the number of emergency room visits is putting a strain on healthcare teams and complicating patient care. Optimizing patient flow and ensuring traceability are becoming major challenges for improving the efficiency of care.
Given this situation, better management of the patient journey is essential.
CAP MED develops geolocation and real-time tracking solutions that streamline patient movement within healthcare facilities. Thanks to a wristband equipped with an RFID tag, every step of the care process is automatically tracked and updated.

Casksense: Aging cellars store thousands of barrels, and tracking them is still largely done manually. Losses due to natural evaporation, leaks, or storage conditions are difficult to measure and lack actionable data.
Given this situation, the digitization of spirits tracking has become a major challenge.
IMASYS is developing a connected monitoring solution that enables remote tracking of the condition of spirits barrels. Thanks to a sensor installed on the bung and a dedicated analytics platform, operators can continuously monitor their inventory, detect anomalies more quickly, and improve the traceability of their assets.
 

Flexus is revolutionizing the energy sector by democratizing access to flexibility markets, traditionally reserved for large industrial companies. 
This innovative platform allows individuals, SMEs, and service companies to participate in balancing the electricity grid by reducing their consumption during peak demand periods. 

Green & Circular: Today, adapting vehicles for wheelchair users remains costly, complex, and restrictive, which hinders access to truly inclusive mobility. 

A simple, reversible solution is taking shape with a 3-in-1 kit that makes vans accessible without modifying the chassis or floor. Installed in less than 4 hours and compatible with leasing and electric vehicles, Green and Circular allows the wheelchair user to be seated in the second row—a safer and more comfortable position—while preserving the vehicle’s value and safety.

Green off-grid: In the face of the energy transition, achieving self-sufficiency for sites and applications remains difficult to implement in a simple, mobile, and accessible way.

Green Off Grid develops off-grid energy solutions that combine modularity, efficiency, and simplicity. Green Off Grid designs systems intended to make energy independence more flexible and accessible, without the need for heavy infrastructure.

Nobselete: Household appliances are now one of the main sources of electronic waste, largely due to their short lifespans and frequent breakdowns. Given this reality, a new approach to consumption is essential.

Nobsolute is developing a line of appliances built to last: reliable, repairable at home, and upgradeable thanks to a patented design and parts available for life. Having already launched a blender through a pre-sale campaign, the brand is entering the small appliance market with a clear mission: to make everyday use more sustainable and responsible.

Park’In is the first indoor and outdoor storage solution for personal electric scooters, manufactured in France, for public and private spaces. Whether at the office, gym, museum, library, school, or movie theater, our solutions secure and recharge your electric scooters. 

“Drive. Park. Secure!”

PILION represents a major innovation in the field of scaffolding, offering a revolutionary solution for construction professionals. Our ultra-fast "accordion" scaffolding system radically transforms working methods on construction sites, ensuring a significant increase in productivity. Designed with risk prevention in mind, Pilion guarantees increased safety for users, reducing accidents and hardship on construction sites. This unique system is fully in line with efforts to improve the thermal efficiency of buildings, significantly reducing the costs associated with scaffolding installation. Pilion is the perfect combination of innovation, safety, and efficiency, contributing to more sustainable and efficient buildings.

Skwil: SKIWL is the first machine that allows users to ski indoors and outdoors on real snow. SKIWL is revolutionizing and making the skiing experience accessible to everyone: the mountains come to the city, all year round, for an authentic skiing experience that’s open to all. Through its design, SKIWL aims to become the global standard for eco-friendly skiing.

Sycon: In factories, deviations and machine downtime are detected too late due to a lack of reliable data on existing equipment. The result: production losses, scrap, and excessive energy consumption. Given this situation, a new approach to industrial monitoring is essential. Sycon has developed the Sybox, a plug-and-play sensor unit that can be installed on existing machines in just a few minutes. It measures vibrations, workshop conditions, and energy consumption, and transmits the data in real time to a dashboard and an API.

SYROBO has created an innovative system that allows the entire bladder of the patient to be observed in order to prevent the spread of cancer and, thanks to automation, increase the frequency of diagnosis by reducing the need for surgeons.

Vesta is an eco-friendly air conditioning solution designed for residents of older buildings—such as Haussmann-style apartments—who want to keep their homes cool without compromising on the environment, architecture, or style of their apartment.

Whisper EF: Marine pollution accounts for 3% of global emissions. Internal-combustion boats are a major source of CO₂ emissions and oil spills, while current electric solutions fail to meet speed and range requirements. In this context, a new generation of propulsion systems is essential. Whisper is the first electric hydrofoil boat capable of reaching 45 knots with a range of 100 nautical miles. It features a patented dual-layer hydrofoil system: two assist foils to reduce energy consumption during takeoff, and four controlled foils to increase speed and range by up to 40%, all managed by flight control software.
