Vivatech 2022: the CNRS presents the challenges and technologies of the future
This year the CNRS has decided to feature at Vivatech those technologies that meet the challenges of the future in the fields of health, sustainability, and digital technology, especially through the 12 companies presented at its stand, all of which grew out of basic research results. In the field of health, visitors can learn more about the following: Aqemia , which uses artificial intelligence and quantum physics to discover new therapeutic molecules; Cardiawave , which treats heart diseases with ultrasound; Damae Medical , whose technology can detect and monitor skin cancer without a biopsy; and Genoskin , which produces human skin models to test molecules in advance of clinical trials. Technologies relating to sustainability will be represented by Bulane , which decarbonises industry using hydrogen combustion; Carboneo , which recycles the CO2 of companies and reduces their carbon footprint; FunCell , whose biosourced additives can reinforce paper and cardboard; and Rosi Solar , which recycles the raw materials found in the waste produced by the photovoltaic industry. Digital technology is also a leading sector for the creation of start-ups at the CNRS: Alice&Bob designs universal, fault-tolerant quantum computers; Kayrros controls industrial infrastructure via satellite imagery; Actronika adds the sense of touch to audio or visual interfaces; and Nanomade makes any object tactile thanks to its pressure sensors made of nanoparticle ink. In a major novelty this year, the programme at the CNRS stand for 15-16 June will include a series of presentations-entitled "Innovation and prospective CNRS Talks"-regarding priority subjects from the France 2030 investment plan.
