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.
