Heuristech – Solveig Parent
Winner of the Grand Est region
This Strasbourg deeptech detects corrosion-related damage to pipelines, the pipes that transport liquids and gases critical to the functioning of modern urban centers, and which are buried under traffic lanes. Heuristech’s solution works like a radar: the information collected and analyzed allows companies operating pipelines to effectively plan preventive maintenance. Maintenance costs related to corrosion are reduced by 80% in urban environments, and major ecological disasters are thus avoided.

Inodesign – Mickael Coronado
Winner of the Hauts-de-France region
This Lille startup is relocating the electronics industry to France by designing and producing custom-made electronic cards and electrical cords, in record time, with a competitive price with Asia. OVHCloud and the Exotec unicorn are among its customers. Its secret: its industrial optimization software equipped with artificial intelligence, which makes it possible to control both the hardware and the software that runs it.

MagREEsource – Erick Petit
Aura Region Winner
Spin-off of the CNRS and located in Grenoble, MagREEsource aims to recreate a complete and sovereign industrial sector for the manufacture of magnets, an essential component for many industries but whose manufacture is today dominated by China. To succeed in this bet, the startup is betting on a patented technology that makes it possible to recycle end-of-life market magnets, a sine qua non condition for the competitiveness of the project against the Chinese monopoly. Its outlets: the defense, robotics and transport sectors, starting with electric vehicles.

Marklix – Pierre-Jacques Lyon
South Region Winner
Thanks to its 3D manufacturing management software and its marketplace that allows the production of spare parts on demand, Marklix organizes the French industrial sector of 3D printing. Its AI-powered algorithm detects design flaws, calculates manufacturing costs, and chooses the materials and printing technologies best suited to keep the part running smoothly. The 3D files sent are then protected by a private blockchain to overcome any problems of intellectual property leakage and liability management in the event of an accident or breakage. Marklix also relies on a network of additive manufacturing professionals, equipped with industrial machines.

Spectral Transactive Memory Systems – Amaury Cottin
Winner of the Ile-de-France region
Spectral offers an interface for transmitting and saving know-how using augmented reality. In an industrial environment, augmented reality can be used to guide the operator to perform certain tasks. The software application thus makes it possible to train and guide industrial technicians during their maintenance and production operations and to safeguard the knowledge and know-how acquired by the oldest and through field experience.

Touch Sensity – Medhi El Hafed
Winner of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region
This deeptech can “scan” all materials, whether solid or flexible, to “make them speak”. In concrete terms, the tool makes it possible to recover in real time any information resulting from pressure, traction, deformation or damage suffered by the material, without using sensors. Enough to detect, for example, an impact on an aircraft, characterize it, measure its intensity and locate it, to anticipate maintenance. The technology is initially intended for the sectors ofe aeronautics, space and transport.

Thrasos – Maheddine Chergui
Winner of the Grand Ouest region
This Breton start-up enables food manufacturers to improve the safety of their food by minimizing their environmental impact. Its software with artificial intelligence analyzes in real time every sequence of the industrial cleaning process, which can be responsible for up to 90% of a factory’s waste volume. The resulting savings in water, energy and chemicals are around 40%. If the entire food industry were equipped with the software, 6 billion liters of water per year would be saved worldwide.
Winner of the Occitanie region
The Toulouse nugget has invented and markets the world’s first solution for battery-free and maintenance-free electronic labels for Industry 4.0. Its trackers can locate all types of objects precisely – down to a few centimeters – and in real time, using UWB technology, an ambient radio energy collection technology.
