Vivatech 2022: the CNRS presents the challenges and technologies of the future

Innovation

The CNRS will present an overview of its know-how in deeptech during its third participation at the Vivatech gathering in Paris from 15-18 June 2022. Visit the CNRS booth to discover how scientists and companies from or supported by laboratories from the CNRS and its partners are developing technologies of the future.

"Innovation & Prospectives": CNRS Talks

Cybersecurity, space exploration, decarbonising industry, health engineering... On 15 and 16 June, ten talks will present the state of on-going research in laboratories from the CNRS and its partners, on subjects identified as priorities in the government’s national acceleration strategies, and in keeping with the Investments for the Future Programmes. They will provide an opportunity to understand the innovative projects of the future.

Each talk will include a presentation by a CNRS scientific expert on the subject, as well as accounts from two start-ups emerging from or supported by CNRS laboratories.

Programme for Wednesday 15 June

Programme for Thursday, 16 June

Health, sustainable development, and digital technology: the start-ups present at the CNRS booth

This year at Vivatech, the CNRS has decided to feature 12 companies whose technologies emerged from basic research results, and meet the challenges of the future in the fields of health, sustainable development, and digital technology

In the field of health, visitors can learn more about the following: Aqemia(link is external), which uses artificial intelligence and quantum physics to discover new therapeutic molecules; Cardiawave(link is external), which treats heart diseases with ultrasound; Damae Medical(link is external), whose technology can detect and monitor skin cancer without a biopsy; and Genoskin(link is external), which produces human skin models to test molecules in advance of clinical trials.

Technologies relating to sustainable development will be represented by Bulane(link is external), which decarbonises industry using hydrogen combustion; Carboneo(link is external), which recycles the CO2 of companies and reduces their carbon footprint; FunCell(link is external), whose biosourced additives can reinforce paper and cardboard; and Rosi Solar(link is external), which recycles the raw materials found in the waste produced by the photovoltaic industry.

Digital technology is also a leading sector for the creation of start-ups at the CNRS: Alice&Bob(link is external) designs universal, fault-tolerant quantum computers; Kayrros(link is external) controls industrial infrastructure via satellite imagery; Actronika(link is external) adds the sense of touch to audio or visual interfaces; and Nanomade(link is external) makes any object tactile thanks to its pressure sensors made of nanoparticle ink.

Also presented, outside next to Pavilion 1: the demonstrator for Batiprint3D(link is external), which develops industrial solutions for the construction industry. The company has already built housing with its robot-printer, and offers services relating to the thermal isolation of building facades.
