Long live technology!

The CNRS is celebrating its researcher-entrepreneurs through a mini-series dedicated to innovation, before participating in the Vivatech 2022 exhibition which takes place in June in Paris.

This year, a new series of five videos has been launched by CNRS Innovation in co-production with Maddyness, media dedicated to French start-ups and innovation. The objective? To demonstrate the extent "fundamental deeptech research is part of new innovation challenges" and to highlight "technology transfer and business creation at the CNRS", explains Corentin Penven, start-up manager at CNRS Innovation. This mini-series, entitled "Deeptech: au cœur des innovations de rupture (at the heart of disruptive innovations)", aims to show how a researcher becomes an entrepreneur, the complementary nature of these two roles, and the interweaving of scientific and industrial approaches. Currently, nearly 1,700 start-ups are using technologies from CNRS laboratories, and around 100 are created each year.

We invite you to discover the video series "Deeptech: au cœur des innovations de rupture (at the heart of disruptive innovations)", as well as a selection of films that we have devoted to start-ups emerging from research conducted in CNRS laboratories.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
