Erganeo
Erganeo, Société d’Accélération de Transfert Technologique, works for academic players (universities, research centres) in the Ile-de-France region. This scope allows it to cover a vast field of knowledge. This French investment fund specializes in breakthrough innovations (Deep Tech) with a strong societal impact. They invest as early as possible, upstream of the creation of the start-up, in three areas: Biotech, Infotech (Telecom, connected objects, big data, AI) and Enertech (new energies, chemistry, materials). Their mission is to accelerate and simplify the associations between Research and Industry in favour of societal progress. To do this, Erganeo finances and supports the new generation of French researcher-entrepreneurs on their way to success and international recognition.
INED
Founded in 1945, the Institut national d’études démographiques (INED) became a public scientific and technological establishment (EPST) in 1986 under the dual supervision of the Ministry of research and the ministry of social affairs. The Institute’s mission is to study the populations of France and foreign countries, to widely spread the knowledge produced and to assist in training in and through research. Through an open approach to demography, it mobilises a wide range of disciplines such as economics, history, geography, sociology, anthropology, biology and epidemiology. With its 11 research units, it encourages exchanges and conducts numerous European and international research projects.
Inria
Inria, the national research institute dedicated to digital sciences, promotes scientific excellence and transfers in order to have the greatest impact.
It employs 2,400 people. Its 200 agile project-teams, generally joint with academic partners, involve more than 3,000 scientists to meet the challenges of computer science and mathematics, often at the interface of other disciplines.
