With the most promising French startups

Founded in 2020 and spinoff from CEA Leti, Wise Integration provides a disruptive technology enabling its industrial customers to manufacture more compact, energy-efficient chargers. To do so, it relies on GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology developed at the CEA. The properties of this material, far superior to those of silicon, considerably improve energy conversion performance.

Aledia is revolutionizing the field of display screens by introducing LED technology to the world of microelectronics. Our microLED technology based on 3D and silicon nanowires opens the way to multi-functional, intelligent, interactive, transparent, foldable, rollable screens, which integrate sound, and will one day restore relief and volumes. Designed and manufactured in France, our eco-responsible solutions guarantee screens with unrivaled image quality, very energy efficient and more durable, for unprecedented battery life.

At Quobly, we believe in the potential of quantum to solve problems classical computers cannot—and we have a viable industrial roadmap that will make a universal quantum computer a reality in the near future. Quobly’s goal is to make a positive impact on our digital future through quantum-enabled computing solutions for medical research, drug discovery, mobility, energy, and more.

SiPearl is building the European high-performance low-power microprocessor dedicated to supercomputing and artificial intelligence. This new generation of microprocessors will first target EuroHPC Joint Undertaking ecosystem, which is deploying world-class supercomputing infrastructures in Europe for solving major challenges in medical research, security, energy management and climate with a reduced environmental footprint.
