A concept that is winning in all its aspects: Tires that come back to life for the same use and are made with a minimal part of new raw materials (ecological aspect). Tires that have an economic value (economic aspect). Tires that have the same approvals and performances as new top- brand tires (reliability aspect). Tires produced in France and therefore Europe (made in Europe manufacturing aspect). It is difficult to find a product that has all these circular economy characteristics.Well done BLACK STAR

A very interesting review this morning in Les Echos about the so-called "Pole Competitivé" and how instrumental they are in foresting innovation and entrepreneurship in France. This is useful to French SMEs but potentially to foreign ones that are looking to deploy some activities in France. If you are a foreign start up, feel free to reach out and let's discuss how we can best help

What if the next gem of the circular economy is you? 💎   A year ago, we launched the Innovation Hub to develop the circular economy ecosystem beyond the automotive world. Our ambition is simple: to promote ambitious initiatives in the field of clean tech applied to mobility. In a 2 500m² space in the heart of The Refactory industrial park in Flins, we provide support to start-ups that share our commitment, through: -       6 months support that allows start-ups to consider the circular economy at each stage - eco-design, choice of materials, repairability, reuse and recyclability - by being supported and guided by about 50 experts able to support startups sustainably.  -       Turnkey industrialization based on Refactory’s industrial capabilities, methods, know-how and skilled workforce in Flins.    We have already incubated 30 start-ups. Next week, the 3rd incubation campaign will start at The Future is NEUTRAL Innovation Hub at ChangeNOW! As a jury member and speaker, Nathalie Rey, our Head of Open Innovation Hub, will present our approach to supporting innovative start-ups that contribute to climate solutions through circular economy and industrialization.   🗓️ From March 25th to 27th 📍 Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris 👉 More information about ChangeNOW: https://lnkd.in/dGeUxu9 👉 To submit your application for incubation: https://lnkd.in/eEG62v5g   Together, let’s find climate solutions and give the Earth a break! 🌎    #TheFutureIsNeutral #AutomotiveCircularEconomy #ChangeNow2024 #HubInnovation

To the attention of #ExcellEnt project followers about French industrial startups overview by Mr Thomas Courbe, DG of DG of Enterprises in France . Translation from French : Industrial startups are a novelty in the French economic landscape. In 2022, the State decided to strengthen its support for the industrialisation of start-ups through the "Industrial Start-ups" plan led by the Direction Générale des Entreprises: this has made it possible to support a real dynamic of the first industrialisations of hundreds of start-ups, in particular with the support of the "1st Factory" scheme, which has benefited 12 new projects announced this week.   The "Industrial Start-ups" strategy aimed to respond to the structural difficulties faced by French start-ups wishing to move from the innovation stage to that of industrialisation, first and foremost a lack of funding for projects in the industrialisation phase.   The development of these industrial start-ups is at the heart of the reindustrialisation dynamic. 👉 Of the 377 actual factory openings and start-ups (including extensions) measured in 2023 (https://lnkd.in/eZPyYZh4), nearly 20% are the result of innovative projects by industrial start-ups and 10 are winners of the "First Factory" scheme.   👉 In total, the 1st Factory scheme has supported 78 projects since its launch, to the tune of €336 million, representing a total amount of productive investment of nearly €4 billion in sectors such as materials, recycling, transport, electronics, energy and agri-food.   These successes should push us to maintain this collective effort, to increase the number of first industrializations, but also to create the conditions for a real scaling up of industrial start-ups, which represents a new generation of French industrial companies.

Start-ups based in Paris are more likely to successfully raise funds than those based elsewhere in France. 🤔 In 2023, data on fundraising tends to prove this assertion wrong. Instead, the main difficulty for start-ups based outside the capital would be to succeed in attracting new talents. This is one of the reasons why, in 2022, Ring Capital invested in Le Mercato de l'Emploi - based in Charente. Their mission is precisely to help companies (throughout France) recruit. In any case, we won't solve all social and environmental problems from Paris alone. Faced with such challenges as #reindustrialisation, #circulareconomy and financing more #sustainable models, #impact investors must continue to turn to start-ups based in all parts of France. In an article for Maddyness, Pierre-Alexis de Vauplane, partner at Ring Capital, explains how important it is to understand how a company fits into its local ecosystem, and discusses recruitment challenges for start-ups based outside Paris.

As some startups in Europe share this post, claiming that receiving too much funding from the French State has led to failure, I must say I disagree with that sentiment. I believe that many food-tech and bio startups worldwide may be struggling to find sustainable business strategies, at least to survive and maintain consistent production levels each month. Many startups are focusing on BSFL, crickets, and other insect varieties. However, mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are much more difficult and costly to raise compared to other insects. The benefits of each insect type vary depending on a company's strategy, but with mealworms leading the way (Ÿnsect being a top leader in this space), small startups like mine draw inspiration from their journey. Their success encourages us to explore new technologies and improve daily. I don’t use the word ‘failing’ when referring to any company, especially not a company I aspire to emulate, even if by just 0.0001%. Working on a small startup with the dream of capturing even 0.0001% of their success is part of the motivation that drives many in the edible insect industry. I believe Mealworms will continue to thrive, and I’m confident in the near future of their utilization in various industries. With continued development, technological exploration, cost optimization, and leveraging the agricultural advantages of countries in Asia, the mealworm industry and the broader edible insect ecosystem will have many new opportunities to grow. https://lnkd.in/eqrkKjgd
