Our Mission
We are at the forefront of the future and accompany this new industrial world being built before our eyes. This place of choice gives us a fundamental role. A role of agitator and facilitator that brings together all players in the digital economy & sustainable development (and more) and makes them work collectively to bring their visions, prototypes, projects, technologies and services beyond everyone’s expectations. To achieve this, we offer our services in support of innovation, acceleration, digital transformation and ecological transition.

Futur.e.s in Paris festival
Organized from 2008 to 2019, it was Europe’s largest free digital Festival showcasing the latest French and international digital innovations to both professionals and the general audience. Futur.e.s in Paris has built a cycle of conferences, new collaborative formats and unusual artistic experiments. During 2 days, start-ups and SMEs could exhibit their innovative products and services, experts debate and interact with the public, which reached the number of 10 000.
The annual How I Met My Startup meeting
Every year, during the How I Met My Startup event, startups from Paris and its region welcome in their premises students and all those curious to know more about the digital world. During one day, they share all about their universe, their jobs and their technologies.
Rendez-vous with Futur.e.s #
