Innovation trophies for Mathym and GeoPeka

Never change a winning team. On Monday, October 10, 2016, for the second year in a row, Le Progrès newspaper hosted the Innovation Victories in partnership with the ENS de Lyon. On the menu that evening: a workshop showcasing the latest innovative products developed in the region, and the awarding of the Innovation Victories to 10 budding talents. Two ENS de Lyon startups were crowned: Mathym, for research, and GeoPeka, for environmental innovation. Why hold an event on innovation? Because innovation is at the heart of economic and social development. In fact it's a key factor in the evolution of territories and of our society. "It's not by improving the candle that we invented electricity," said Jean-François Pinton, President of the ENS de Lyon.
