They talk about their experience

Inria Startup Studio | Simon Témoignage

We are researchers and we started the program with a purely technical approach. Through contacts, through exchanges, through the training we received, we have been able to add real skills in business, communication and management to our technical background.

Simon Evain

Anax (Inria Rennes)

Inria Startup Studio | Tristan Témoignage

ISS was the first to believe in us. And they supported us with an environment, training and a place to work. Through the ISS network, we have been put in contact with investors who are interesting and interested. And that saved us a lot of time.

Tristan Nitot

Unsearch (Inria Paris)

Inria Startup Studio | Antonia Témoignage

Inria Startup Studio is the perfect environment to meet creative people in which to create a foundation to build a network of creative and helpful individuals from many relevant fields. It also allows me to branch out and explore many different paths for the project.

Antonia Machlouzarides-Shalit

Neuropin (Inria Sophia Antipolis)

Thanks to the funding of a year of project maturation, Inria Startup Studio gives us the opportunity to create our startup project based on the research we have conducted over the last 8 years on flexible robots. Of course technology is important in such a project, but the program helps us to prepare for the different aspects of creating a company.

Inria Startup Studio | Harold Témoignage

When you have a problem or when you experience something, another project owner, in general, will have already experienced it and will be able to share her experience with you. And it’s something extremely rich to create and share moments like that with people who are not necessarily in your project, but who are going through something similar.

Harold Blériot

Lyrion (Inria Paris)

Inria Startup Studio | Justine Témoignage

One of the highlights of this experience is that thanks to ISS, I was able to meet one of the big names in my field, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli. A big challenge for me!

Justine Bonnot

Yubik (Inria Rennes)

Inria Startup Studio | Thibaud Témoignage

The support team never stopped challenging us by asking to go even further and by making even more contacts with the main stakeholders, the hearing impaired people.
