What they say about us

Our collaboration with Technofounders enabled the transfer of a promising therapeutic innovation to a medical startup. Their ability to adapt and to collaborate with the academic world was instrumental in bringing this initiative to fruition.

Laurence Petit, Director for Innovation, Start-ups, and Investments at CEA

Technofounders excellent knowledge of the academic ecosystem and their ability to quickly assess the value-creation potential of technologies that are sometimes still at a very early stage have led to the creation of five high-potential CNRS spin-offs, such as Ion-X in the NewSpace sector and Hiqute Diamond in the strategic field of industrial diamond production.
