Our mission

Turn Paris-Saclay into a leading hub in innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Paris-Saclay cluster is an ecosystem with enormous potential. Everything is there to make it an international leader in research and innovation: universities, research centers, top-ranking engineering and business schools, laboratories of the largest French groups, incubators, etc.

The training, skills and experience are far-reaching and varied, with thousands of completely different profiles located in the same area. Unfortunately, interactions and meetings between people from different institutions are still rare. And that’s where we come in.
