The CNRS at Vivatech 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.

Four major topics embodied by 10 start-ups that originate from research conducted in laboratories under the supervisory authority of the CNRS: space, digital revolution, health and sustainable development.

Space

• Ion-X develops and produces ion thrusters for satellites.
• Aldoria designs orbital information systems that provide a complete understanding of the space environment in real time.

Digital revolution

• Biomemory, 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 has developed a high-fidelity quantum simulator allowing software producers and developers to test and optimise their platforms and applications.

Health  

• Vect-Horus has developed a technology platform specialising in molecular vectors that target specific receptors, a groundbreaking innovation for crossing the blood-brain barrier. 
• Hephaïstos Pharma is developing an immunotherapy treatment against incurable and metastatic cancers.
• Tafalgie Therapeutics 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 produces agricultural and viticultural robots that solve labour problems and reduce the use of weedkillers.
• Lactips 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 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.
