The range of support services the CEA provides to its startups is unique. Founders benefit from the CEA’s technical know-how and advanced research equipment, of course, but also expertise in innovation and introductions to financers and policymakers—all for the sake of ensuring that the companies created can make a real impact. Also worth mentioning are the CEA’s 700 R&D partners, valuable members of our startups’ future networks.
The majority of CEA startups cover low-carbon energy, health, and digital systems, licensing the CEA’s patents and playing a pivotal role in getting CEA technologies to the market.
The CEA has its own venture capital fund, CEA Investissement, and created deep tech fund Supernova Invest with Amundi. With a total of around 100 investments and more than 70 companies in its portfolio, Supernova Invest now enjoys a unique track record in deep tech, resulting in 30 successful exits and six IPOs.
