The CNRS at Vivatech 2025: ask for the programme!

Meet our start-ups on the CNRS stand

The CNRS, whose mission is to conduct fundamental research in the service of society, is a driving force behind the emergence of innovations that have (and will continue to have) a profound impact on our society. These innovations can take the form of high-potential deeptech companies, such as the 10 start-ups that the CNRS chose to spotlight on its stand this year.

Quantum

• Pasqal 
  Co-founded by Nobel Prize Alain Aspect and Antoine Browayes, CNRS silver medal, Pasqal develops a quantum processor capable of resolving complex calculations that are impossible to solve with regular computers.  En savoir plus
• Cryptonext
  Anticipating the future deployment of quantum computers, Cryptonext offers cryptographic solutions tailored to post-quantum computing. En savoir plus

Sustainable development

• Vulkam 
  Vulkam produces revolutionary amorphous metal alloys called Vulkalloys. Durable and versatile, these alloys are particularly well suited to micro-mechanics. En savoir plus
• Verley (formerly-Bon Vivant) 
  Verley (formerly Bon Vivant) has developed a precision fermentation technique to produce dairy products without cows, using yeasts instead. En savoir plus

Energy

• Geolink services  
  Geolinks' technology makes it possible to monitor the subsoil using ambient noise, so as to help prevent seismic risks and detect deposits of resources such as hydrogen. En savoir plus
• H2Sys  
  H2Sys is working on the development of portable hydrogen-powered electricity generators for large-scale low-carbon production. En savoir plus

Health

• Movalife microrobotics 
  Movalife has developed a robotic solution to optimise the efficiency of in vitro fertilisation techniques, thereby increasing success rates. En savoir plus
• Okomera
  Okomera offers a system that can produce organoids from a few tumour cells, enabling several possible treatments to be tested in order to find the most appropriate therapeutic solution. En savoir plus
