IMT has joined forces with Bpifrance and seven engineering and management graduate schools in a strategic national partnership to boost the attractiveness of deeptech entrepreneurship.
As part of the Deeptech Plan led by Bpifrance, IMT is working in partnership with AgroParisTech, CentraleSupélec, EDHEC, emlyon, ESCP, ESSEC and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Together, they aim to streamline the support provided to technology project leaders, and to foster the emergence of a new generation of high-impact entrepreneurs.
IMT: a driving force behind committed, technological entrepreneurship
Thanks to its national network of incubators based at its technological universities, IMT provides support for over a hundred entrepreneurial projects every year. This new commitment is in line with IMT’s 2023-2027 strategy, which gives priority to developing responsible solutions for industry of the future, digital sovereignty, the ecological transition and engineering for health.
A structuring, forward-looking partnership
This partnership is based on four main goals:
- To raise the profile of deeptech among students, alumni and ecosystems;
- To facilitate project support, through improved circulation of expertise and tools;
- To structure a portfolio monitoring system for start-ups emerging from incubators;
- To unite a collective committed to technological innovation and industrial sovereignty.
In line with the priorities of France 2030, this partnership also aims to boost the visibility and accessibility of the deeptech ecosystem, attract talent to groundbreaking technologies, and enhance the economic, social and environmental impact of start-ups originating from the graduate schools.
