Thermal storage spearhead Wallace Technologies

, ,
Benjamin Dupas founded the start-up Wallace Technologies in Clermont-Ferrand in 2020. He was joined in 2024 by Pauline Chanin Lambert, a researcher at Mines Saint-Étienne, while he was working on a research contract there. These two professional engineers aim to revolutionize energy storage using thermal batteries, offering a model that is both efficient and sustainable.

Alhomna Systems promotes solar energy

, ,
Thomas Delapierre lived in Australia for many years and witnessed the environmental devastation facing the country: forest fires, floods, and other natural disasters that are enough to cause eco-anxiety. This personal experience led him to set up a project "that would ensure a minimum standard of living for everyone," the start-up Alhomna Systems. Founded in 2023, it seeks to transform wet waste into valuable resources using solar energy technology: SolarDry.

Greenhouse gases: Mirega sets its sights on

, ,
Invisible leaks, massive emissions: measuring greenhouse gases in the field remains a challenge. Mirega, a young start-up backed by high-level optical expertise, is developing a miniature infrared sensor designed to go where other instruments cannot. This technology is designed to meet growing demands in terms of detection, mobility, and climate.

Renardo lays its cards on the table in embedded electronics

, ,
Developing an embedded electronic solution in a matter of weeks rather than years: that's the challenge taken up by Renardo, a young start-up incubated at IMT Atlantique. Born out of the industrial and educational experience of its two founders, the start-up offers a modular ecosystem combining hardware and software. The aim is to increase responsiveness and democratize electronic innovation, while meeting industry requirements.

Myothesis digitizes craftsmanship

Faced with a shortage of skilled craftspeople, passing on expertise is becoming crucial. To address this issue, the young start-up Myothesis has developed a smart bracelet that can record professional movements and reproduce them in 3D. This solution helps to provide better and faster training in sectors where training still relies heavily on direct observation.

From Fossil to Flexible: Joulzen Gives Old Oil Tanks a Future

, ,
The countdown has started: by 2035, oil heating systems will be banned across many European countries. But what happens to the tanks left behind? In Austria, a team of young engineers saw this constraint as a resource. Their start-up incubated in TU Wien, Joulzen, wants to turn these dormant giants into heat storage systems—and maybe even into players in the European energy grid.

Oncoelectronics: A spark in the fight against brain tumors

, ,
Electric fields to curb cancer? That's the bold approach of the Franco-International team at Oncoelectronics. Born in the heart of Provence, the start-up draws on the experience of scientists at Mines Saint-Etienne to design implantable devices to slow the progression of incurable brain tumors. A project at the crossroads of bioengineering, neurotechnology and microelectronics.
