The CNRS at Vivatech 2024

Innovation

The CNRS, a key actor in deeptech, will once again be present at Vivatech, Europe’s largest annual tech gathering entirely dedicated to innovation from 22-25 May 2024. The organisation’s experts and partners, along with representatives from start-ups that originated from laboratories under the supervisory authority of the CNRS, will participate in this new edition, exchanging with the public and presenting groundbreaking technologies in the fields of health, sustainable development, space, and the digital revolution.

The stand

4 major topics embodied by 10 start-ups that originate from research conducted in laboratories under the supervisory authority of the CNRS:

Space

 

Digital revolution

 

  • Biomemory(link is external), a global leader in DNA storage and an iconic actor in Greentech, is revolutionising the digital landscape with a DNA storage solution combining performance, durability, and minimal environmental impact.
  • QPerfect (link is external)has developed a high-fidelity quantum simulator allowing software producers and developers to test and optimise their platforms and applications.

Health  

 

  • Vect-Horus(link is external) has developed a technology platform specialising in molecular vectors that target specific receptors, a groundbreaking innovation for crossing the blood-brain barrier. 
  • Hephaïstos Pharma(link is external) is developing an immunotherapy treatment against incurable and metastatic cancers.
  • Tafalgie Therapeutics(link is external) is developing the first medicine whose mechanism of action is derived from an endogenous secretory protein that can modulate pain signals, with neither dependence nor tolerance.

Sustainable development

 

  •  Naïo Technologies(link is external) produces agricultural and viticultural robots that solve labour problems and reduce the use of weedkillers.
  • Lactips(link is external) is developing an innovative thermoplastic material based on the milk protein casein, one that uses no microplastics, is biodegradable in the space of a few days in all environments, and is also soluble in water (even up to 10-15°C).
  • Mecaware(link is external) offers a solution for the extraction of metals in a closed loop, with no inputs that impact the environment, no production of effluents, and no particular energy requirements.

CNRS Innovation and Prospective Talks

An expansive programme of round-tables, bringing  together CNRS scientists and representatives from the innovation ecosystem, will mark the first three days of the gathering.
